Primary brain lymphomas after kidney transplantation: an under-recognized problem?

Unlabelled: Primary central nervous system post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (CNS PTLD) is a serious complication after solid organ transplantation that has not received much attention so far. However, it could become a more frequent problem with the introduction of new biological agents.

Methods: We identified five cases with CNS PTLD in our center who were transplanted between 1986 and 2007, three men and two women, with a mean age of 55.
