Orbital Epstein-Barr virus-related post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder in a 13-year-old girl with cord blood transplantation.

2020 
Epstein-Barr virus-associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (EBV-PTLD) is increasingly recognized as a life-threatening complication after transplantation. Most areas affected by EBV-PTLD are lymph nodes, with occasional reports of extranodal lesions such as the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system; however, orbital regions are extremely rare. We report a case of EBV-PTLD in a cord blood transplant recipient with a tumour in the upper right eyelid. Ultimately, eye symptoms were the first signs of PTLD. Transplant physicians should consider the possibility of PTLD when encountering an orbital lesion.
