A renal allograft recipient was diagnosed as having a primary gastric lymphoma 11 years following transplant. Pathology showed a large cell diffuse (histiocytic) lymphoma with lymph node metastases. Pulmonary metastases developed despite curative resection and adjuvant radiation therapy. An aggressive approach to the evaluation of abdominal symptoms following transplantation is indicated to attempt early diagnosis of gastrointestinal malignancies and to allow prompt treatment.
