Stage IV Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma-type Posttransplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder in a Pediatric Liver Transplant Patient: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a heterogeneous group of diseases with abnormal proliferation of lymphoid tissue and classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) type PTLD is a very rare subtype. We describe a successfully diagnosed and treated CHL-PTLD stage IV pediatric patient, 8 years after liver transplantation. The patient was treated with standard CHL (Children's Cancer Group 5942 group 3) chemotherapy, rituximab and reduction of immunosuppressant. The patient remains in complete remission after 3 years with stable graft function. To our best knowledge, this is the first pediatric case report of a successfully treated stage IV CHL-PTLD after a liver transplant.
