Orbital Epstein‐Barr virus‐related post‐transplant lymphoproliferative disorder in a 13‐year‐old girl with cord blood transplantation. Issue 3 (18th December 2020) - Shigemura, Tomonari
Abstract: Epstein‐Barr virus‐associated post‐transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (EBV‐PTLD) is increasingly recognized as a life‐threatening complication after transplantation. Most areas affected by EBV‐PTLD are lymph nodes, with occasional reports of extranodal lesions such as the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system; however, orbital regions are extremely rare. We report a case of EBV‐PTLD in a cord blood transplant recipient with a tumor in the upper right eyelid. Ultimately, eye symptoms were the first signs of PTLD. Transplant physicians should consider the possibility of PTLD when encountering an orbital lesion.
