Mutlifocal osseous posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorder: case report

Ryan Lo et al. Skeletal Radiol. 2015 Jul.

Abstract

Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a known complication of organ transplantation, but musculoskeletal involvement of PTLD remains very rare. We present a case of recurrent PTLD of the bone in a heart transplant patient that was misdiagnosed as gout for several years. There are only a few cases of osseous PTLD in the literature, and we hope to better characterize its imaging findings on multiple imaging modalities.
