Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder with involvement of the donor urogenital tissue is a rare and serious complication of solid organ transplant. We report an adult kidney transplant recipient who developed the diffuse large B cell lymphoma of the distal ureter in the setting of new allograft nephropathy. Early intervention, reduction of immunosuppression, surgical reconstruction and chemotherapy salvaged the allograft kidney and averted a fatal outcome.

In this study we report urologic complications following ureteral reimplantation based on 1 urologist's experience at a single high-volume renal transplant institution.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed on all patients who underwent ureteral reimplantation by the transplant urologist at the time of their kidney transplant between July 1, 1993, and December 31, 2016.
