Leiomyoma in a Renal Allograft

Abstract EN

Leiomyomas are smooth muscle tumours that are rarely found in the kidney.

There is one report of a leiomyoma in a kidney transplant in a paediatric recipient.

Here, we report an adult renal transplant recipient who developed an Epstein-Barr virus-positive leiomyoma in his allograft 15 years after transplantation.

The patient was converted to everolimus for posttransplant immunosuppression management and there was no sign of progression over a year.
