| Abstract: | Channabasappa N, Johnson‐Welch S, Mittal N. De novo cholangiocarcinoma after liver transplantation in a pediatric patient Pediatr Transplantation 2010: 14:E110–E114. © 2009 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Abstract: To date, no child has been reported to develop de novo CCA after liver transplantation although patients with transplants have a significantly higher risk of malignancy than the general population. CCA is extremely rare in the pediatric age group, seen mostly in patients with a history of choledochal cysts, Caroli’s disease, or PSC. We report the first case of pediatric de novo CCA in the liver allograft 12 yr after liver transplantation. |
