Treatment response with sirolimus for a pediatric patient with an EBV‐associated smooth‐muscle tumor after bone marrow transplantation

Epstein–Barr virus–associated smooth‐muscle tumors (EBV‐SMTs) are unique and rare neoplasms described in immunocompromised patients. The case describes a nine‐year‐old female with a history of acute lymphoblastic leukemia with relapse and subsequent allogeneic bone marrow transplantation who presented with multiple EBV‐SMTs of the liver. EBV utilizes the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway for tumor growth, and sirolimus, a mTOR inhibitor, has shown to result in a short‐term response. We now report an extended treatment response with sirolimus in a pediatric patient with an EBV‐SMT.
