Key Clinical Message Post‐transplant lymphoproliferative disorders are rare but potentially life‐threatening complication of HSCT. Although not frequently reported but PTLD can occur as a late post‐transplant complication in HSCT recipients. A high index of suspicion should be kept for early diagnosis of these disorders as delay in diagnosis can have catastrophic implications.
