Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder
Imaging findings
CT chest in a lung transplant recipient shows multiple, well-circumscribed, homogeneous nodules in the right lung base, without air bronchograms.
Key takeaways
Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a serious complication of chronic immunosuppression, typically driven by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The radiographic features (homogenous nodules, masses) are nonspecific and overlap with opportunistic infections like Cryptococcus or Nocardia, requiring pathological confirmation.
