Introduction

Although renal transplantation is the preferred treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease transplant recipients are at substantially higher risk of developing several types of malignancies due to their immunosuppressive treatment. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) are the most common tumours found in patients following solid organ transplantation, but these usually occur as separate entities. Solid organ transplantation is associated with a greater than 40-fold increase in the incidence of NHL, and a 400-fold increase in the incidence of KS. NHL and KS represent 16% and 4% of all post-transplantation tumours, respectively [1].

While the increased incidence of these malignancies as sequelae to renal transplantation has been well documented, the literature cites only two cases of simultaneous NHL and KS following solid organ transplantation [2,3. . . [Full Text of this Article]
