Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a fatal complication of solid organ transplantation or allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation that is associated with immunosuppressive therapy. Potential manifestations are diverse, ranging from reactive lymphoid hyperplasia to high-grade lymphoma. PTLD is usually of B-cell origin and associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Herein, we describe a case of PTLD involving the peritoneal omentum. There has been only case of PTLD as a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the peritoneum.
