Abstract

Abstract : Background . Late-onset posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) after orthotopic heart transplantation is rare. Case Presentation . We present a rare diagnosis of small bowel stricture caused by healed lymphomatous ulcers in a patient with orthotopic heart transplantation and PTLD diagnosed 25 years after initial transplantation. We also demonstrate successful endoscopic balloon dilations that improved the patient's obstructive symptoms. Conclusion . It is important to consider stricture from healed lymphomatous ulcers in posttransplant patients presenting with obstructive symptoms.
