Abstract

Lymphoproliferative disorders with primary presentation in a joint are extremely rare. Posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorders are commonly extranodal at presentation but rarely involve joint structures. The authors describe a fatal case of posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorder presenting in the knee of a 39-year-old woman who had undergone renal transplantation many years before.
