Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <sec id="ajt12555-sec-0001" sec-type="section"> <p>Organ transplantation carries a risk of disease transmission from donor to recipient, primarily infection or malignancy. Although donors are thoroughly screened, donor‐related malignancies are reported to occur in 0.01% of solid organ transplants. Plasma cell neoplasm, to the best of our knowledge, has not been reported as a donor‐transmitted malignancy in liver transplantation. We describe a liver transplant from a donor with unrecognized plasmacytoma requiring retransplantation. Three years after the first transplant a single peritoneal mass was detected on surveillance imaging and radically excised; HLA phenotyping confirmed the mass to be an isolated extra‐medullary plasmacytoma of chimeric donor and recipient origin.</p> </sec> </abstract>
