Smooth muscle tumor arising de novo in a liver allograft: A case report.

TL;DRAbstract

The development of de novo malignancies is a well-recognized complication of the immunosuppressed state that follows organ transplantation (1-6). In the cyclosporine era, lymphomas, skin cancer and Kaposi’s sarcoma account for more than half of the reported cases (6). Other tumors of mesenchymal origin are uncommon. We describe a case of a primary smooth muscle tumor arising in a liver allograft. The tumor was of donor origin. To our knowledge this complication has not been seen before.
