Kaposi S Sarcoma After Liver Transplantation From A Donor With A History Of Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt And Craniotomy For Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma Report Of A Case .

We report a case of Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) developing as a result of immunosuppression in the recipient of a liver transplant from a donor who underwent craniotomy and ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery for primary CNS lymphoma. Polymerase chain reaction assay did not isolate human herpes virus-8 in the Kaposi lesions. To our knowledge, this is the only case ever reported of KS developing after liver transplantation from a donor with lymphoma. Thus, with appropriate screening to exclude possible dissemination, patients with a history of high-grade primary CNS lymphoma treated by ventriculoperitoneal shunt and craniotomy may be accepted as donors.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDonorKaposi’s sarcomaLymphomaArticle3809094
