BACKGROUND: Recommended first-line treatment for posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is reduction in immunosuppressive therapy, irrespective of histopathological type. Second-line treatment with chemotherapy is generally reserved for tumors that fail to respond to reduced immunosuppression. In view of the similarities between monomorphic PTLD and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in the general population, our policy is to treat monomorphic PTLD with anthracycline-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment. METHODS: A retrospective single-center analysis of 18 adults who developed PTLD following liver or kidney transplantation was undertaken, with particular emphasis on tumor histology, treatment received, and clinical outcome. RESULTS: Of the 18 patients with PTLD, 13 had high-grade malignant lymphoma on diagnostic biopsy and received anthracycline-based chemotherapy and reduction in immunosuppression as first-line therapy. Nine (69%) of the 13 patients achieved complete remission and eight (62%) remained in complete remission five years after diagnosis. There was no graft loss from rejection or drug toxicity. Four (22%) patients had polymorphic PTLD on diagnostic biopsy (of which two were re-classified as monomorphic) and one had a low-grade malignant lymphoma. All five patients were treated by reduction in immunosuppression without chemotherapy and were in complete remission at a median of two years after diagnosis. Overall, complete remission was seen in 14 out of 18 patients (78%) at one year following diagnosis. CONCLUSION: The use of anthracycline-based chemotherapy and reduction of immunosuppression as first-line treatment in adults with monomorphic PTLD is well tolerated and achieves sustained complete remission in around 70% of patients with a low risk of graft loss. 相似文献

Interleukin-10 and posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder after kidney transplantation 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
BACKGROUND: Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a life-threatening complication of transplantation, which comprises a morphologically and clinically heterogeneous spectrum of B-lymphocyte diseases. Risk factors include primary or reactivated Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, and the type and duration of immunosuppression. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a pleiotropic cytokine, produced primarily by T-helper 2 (Th2) lymphocytes in the later stages of T-cell activation, suggested to play a role in EBV-associated PTLD. We recently reported preliminary findings on IL-10 in relation to the development of PTLD in three kidney transplanted patients. The study now includes nine patients that could be followed before and/or after the occurrence of lymphoma. METHODS: Nine patients with lymphomas (eight PTLDs and one Hodgkin's disease) were diagnosed among 268 consecutive renal transplantations (1990-1997). All were treated with cyclosporine with an initial 10-day course of antilymphocyte globulin, supplemented from 1995 with mycophenolate mofetil. Serum antibodies against EBV were detected using recombinant antigens. A double sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using rabbit antibodies to purified human recombinant IL-10 was employed; the assay is specific for human natural and viral IL-10. RESULTS: Three patients experienced primary EBV infection, five reactivated EBV infections, and one did not change EBV status. Three patients had a fulminant course and died with EBV-associated PTLD confirmed post mortem. The other six are alive and are apparently cured. Treatment was immediate discontinuation of immunosuppression (in all PTLDs) and long-term high-dose aciclovir in all but one. Two patients have maintained excellent graft function for 3 and 2 years, respectively, without immunosuppression and are now in a state of operational tolerance. In three of four cases with initial lymphoma, EBV infection (primary or reactivation) preceded the increase in IL-10. In all four cases, the IL-10 increase preceded the PTLD diagnosis. In six cases, IL-10 could be followed after treatment showing either immediate zero or a decrease to zero. CONCLUSION: IL-10 seems to play a role in EBV-associated PTLD. Moreover, IL-10 may have an important role in transplant tolerance by inducing long-lasting anergy to donor- and host-specific alloantigens, perhaps caused by down-regulation of Th1 cytokines in the graft. If substantiated, this may provide new insight into the pathogenesis of PTLD introducing new strategies for prevention and therapy of PTLD, and for the induction of tolerance in transplanted patients. 相似文献

Allograft liver biopsy specimens (n = 24) obtained in the clinical setting of primarily extrahepatic posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) were studied for histopathology, lymphocyte subsets, and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded EBER RNA. Acute rejection was found in 20 (83.3%) of 24 biopsy specimens and graded as indeterminate in 7 (35%) of 20 (35%), mild in 3 (15%) of 20, and moderate in 10 (50%) of 20 cases. EBV hepatitis was the primary diagnosis in two biopsy specimens and a secondary finding in six others. Four biopsy specimens showed nonspecific reactive hepatitis, and five showed recurrence of primary liver disease. Immunoperoxidase staining showed primarily T cells. EBER RNA was detected in 14 (58.3%) of 24 biopsy specimens: 12 (60%) of 20 with and 2 (50%) of 4 without acute rejection. Antirejection therapy resulted in complete or partial response in 4 (36.3%) of 11 and 7 (63.7%) of 11 treated cases, respectively, despite the presence of EBV-infected cells in some tissues. Subsequent follow-up showed early or late chronic rejection in 6 (25%) of 24 patients. Gamma glutamyl transferase, a marker for early or late chronic rejection, was greater than five times the upper limit of normal in 9 (37.5%) of 24 patients. In conclusion, liver biopsy specimens in patients with PTLD show a spectrum of pathologic changes. Rejection may be treated even if EBV is concurrently present. Long-term graft is suboptimal, because low immunosuppression results in a tendency to develop chronic rejection. 相似文献

Among 23 pediatric patients who underwent orthotopic liver transplant (OLT), we report two (11 and 26 months old) with posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) that occurred in the early posttransplantation period. They were Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)-negative and received graft from EBV-positive donors. The surveillance for EBV viremia using serial EBV polymerase chain reaction determinations in the peripheral blood was positive at 10 and 90 days after OLT concomitant with symptoms of primary infection, both patients were treated with gancyclovir. The patients should progression to a Burkitt's and a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that appeared 3 months posttransplantation. They were treated by withdrawal of immunosuppression and six courses of cyclophosphamide as well as anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (Rituximab) every 21 days. One patient experienced acute graft rejection, which resolved with steroids and low doses of tacrolimus, she is free of disease at 24 months after the end of treatment. The other patient relapsed with a cerebral lymphoma, receiving aggressive chemotherapy, but died due to sepsis. In conclusion, PTLD occurred among in 2/23 patients who underwent OLT and appeared in the first quarter post OLT. The risk factors associated with early PTLD were primary EBV infection after OLT, young age, and EBV-negative recipient receiving a transplant from an EBV-positive donor. Antiviral treatment alone was inefficient; withdrawal of immunosuppression and courses of Rituximab and cyclophosphamide were well tolerated and controlled PTLD. The risk of graft rejection was increased by withdrawal of immunosuppression. One patient died. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: We report a liver transplant patient with Epstein-Barr virus-negative, precursor B cell lymphoblastic lymphoma diagnosed 6 months after transplantation. PATIENT: The patient was a 13-year-old boy with acute, fulminant hepatic failure of unknown etiology who underwent cadaveric liver transplantation. RESULTS: Six months after the transplant, the patient developed non-tender cervical lymphadenopathy 2 days after a reduction in prednisone dosage. The adenopathy worsened despite withdrawal of immunosuppression, and a biopsy showed precursor B cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. All investigations for Epstein-Barr virus were negative. The patient responded well to chemotherapy and is currently in complete remission 24 months after diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: Precursor B cell lymphoblastic lymphoma has not been previously reported as a form of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease. We discuss this unique form of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease and briefly review the clinical and pathological spectrum of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) is now a widely recognized complication of lung transplantation. In the current study, we present our experience with PTLD over a 15-year period, which includes the incidence rates in 242 lung allografts and the relative risk of developing PTLD in 146 patients with known pretransplantation Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) status. METHODS: Inpatient and outpatient charts of 300 consecutive lung transplant recipients between 1984 and 1999 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: Twelve cases of PTLD were observed for a total incidence rate of 5.0%. Ten of these patients had pretransplantation EBV testing, and the consequent increase in relative risk for patients who were EBV negative was 6.8-fold. The mean time between organ transplantation and tissue diagnosis of PTLD was 17.6 months. Total 1-year survival rate from the time of diagnosis for the cohort was 58%, whereas 2-year survival rate was 50%. Median survival for the six patients who died was 4.5 months. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that although EBV seronegativity does carry a 6.8-fold increase in the relative risk of developing PTLD, long-term survival despite the development of PTLD can be achieved, and thus EBV seronegativity by itself should not be considered a contraindication to lung transplantation. 相似文献

Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders are severe complications that arise after solid organ transplantation, which are often related to Epstein- Barr virus. Reports are anecdotal, and a standardized therapy does not exist. We report a case of a 36-year-old man who developed posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder of the oropharynx 1 year after receiving a heart transplant. A short review of the literature is presented, after which a new therapeutic approach that combines antiviral therapy, monoclonal antibodies, and a sirolimus-based maintenance immunosuppression regimen with reduced target trough levels of tacrolimus is introduced. The patient achieved complete remission and was free from recurrence 18 months after the therapy was initiated. 相似文献

More than 20,000 human liver transplantations have been performed world-wide. The procedure has become universally accepted by hepatologists and applied most broadly for numerous indications in end-stage liver disease. Most common indications for transplantation are benign liver diseases, leading to cirrhosis and/or liver failure. In non-resectable tumor stages liver transplantations have been less frequently performed. The main problem remains to define the "best timing" for the operation. The disease stage will influence the incidence of perioperative complications, postoperative mortality and survival after transplantation. Liver transplantation should be considered, before chronic liver disease reaches its final stage and extra-hepatic liver-related organ complications determine the course. "Ultima ratio" decisions in very late disease stages will leave the patient with only a small chance of surviving. High tumor recurrence rates and inferior survival figures after liver transplantation in malignant liver diseases necessitate a restrictive indication policy in such patients. Probably neoadjuvant chemotherapy in conjunction with liver transplantation will expand the therapeutic modalities in unresectable situations. 相似文献

Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLDs) are among the most serious and potentially fatal complications of both stem-cell and solid-organ transplantation. Most monomorphic PTLDs are of B-cell origin and frequently associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in the setting of pharmacological immunosuppression posttransplantation. The majority of monomorphic PTLDs commonly resemble diffuse large B-cell or Burkitt's lymphoma; plasmacytoma-like PTLDs are very rare. We report a case of plasmacytoma-like PTLD arising in the allograft in a 66-year-old male diagnosed 2 months following an orthotopic liver transplant for alcohol-related end-stage liver disease. The liver biopsy revealed marked infiltration of atypical plasma cells with lambda light chain restriction and positivity for EBV by in situ hybridization confirming the diagnosis. Also noted was a remarkable increase of tissue eosinophils. Reduction of immunosuppression led to improvement in his clinical condition, and also resolution of the hepatic lesions and abdominal lymphadenopathy noted on imaging studies. While a few cases of plasmacytoma-like PTLDs have been described in literature, to our knowledge, this is the first reported case of early onset plasmacytoma-like PTLD in a liver transplant recipient occurring in the allograft with associated lymphadenopathy having distinct histopathologic features including tissue eosinophilia. Timely recognition of such an entity is critical in order to initiate early and appropriate intervention. 相似文献

Indications and results of liver transplantation in patients with neuroendocrine tumors 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2

Metastases from neuroendocrine (NE)
tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, carcinoids, and endocrine
pancreatic tumors (EPTs) can be confined to the liver for long periods
and may exhibit slow growth. When considering liver transplantation
(LTx) for patients with NE tumors, the expected results with
conventional treatment must be weighed against the risk of LTx and
immunosuppression. The following indications for LTx may be considered
for patients with metastatic NE tumors limited to the liver: (1) tumors
not accessible to curative surgery or major tumor reduction; (2) tumors
not responding to medical or interventional treatment; and (3) tumors
causing life-threatening hormonal symptoms. We excluded patients with
poorly differentiated NE carcinoma or well differentiated NE carcinoma
with a high proliferation index (Ki 67 > 10%). Over 4 years
(1997–2001) we have performed transplants in nine patients (five with
EPTs, four with carcinoids) with a mean ± SEM follow-up of
22 ± 5 months (range 4–45 months). Seven patients underwent
orthotopic LTx and two multivisceral LTx. Eight patients are alive, six
without clinical evidence of disease. Four patients developed recurrent
tumors 9 to 36 months after LTx; two were detected at an early stage
and underwent resection with curative intent. One patient with
multivisceral Tx died after 4 months of posttransplant
lymphoproliferative disease without tumor recurrence. In selected
series LTx can offer good control of hormonal symptoms, a relatively
long disease-free interval, and in individual cases potential cure. 相似文献
