Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is one of the most common malignancies after kidney transplantation. Different clinical and histopathological forms of PTLD related to immunosuppression can be observed after organ transplantations. We report a 42-year-old woman who had undergone deceased donor renal transplantation with an unusual presentation of PTLD. The immunosuppressive treatment was discontinued and appropriate chemotherapy was started. However, the patient died despite this treatment. Different presentations of PTLD in transplant patients should also be kept in mind.
