Description
Summary:EBV-associated post-transplant smooth muscle tumors (EBV-PTSMTs) is a rare complication following solid organ transplantation and has been observed more frequently in pediatric and young adult populations. This manuscript reports a 10-month-old female child who developed multicentric EBV-PTSMTs in a liver graft and in the distal ileum 2 years after living donor liver transplantation. The patient was successfully treated with resection and radiofrequency ablation of a liver nodule in a central position in the graft parenchyma.
