CTICasesPost-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder recurrence in the scapula
Imaging findings
Chest CT and radiographs in a lung transplant recipient show an enormous, expansile, lytic bone lesion involving the right scapula, representing recurrent Epstein-Barr virus positive post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder four years after a previously resolved pulmonary PTLD nodule.
Key takeaways
Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder is a serious complication of immunosuppression, most commonly EBV-associated. While typically presenting in the transplanted lungs, it can rarely recur in bones as a destructive, expansile lytic lesion, mimicking metastatic renal cell carcinoma or primary bone sarcoma.
