The course of a patient (Case 3) who developed a plasmacytoma in the diencephalon more than 7 months after renal homotransplantation from her father. The tumor was irradiated and the doses of both azathioprine and prednisone were drastically reduced. The neurologic deficit was partially reversed and has not progressed subsequently. Renal function has remained good.
