Abstract
Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) is a life-threatening complication among 1% to 20% of all organ transplant recipients. The majority of cases, if not all, are associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Herein we report a 28 year-old woman who developed EBV-related PTLD in both her breasts at 12 years after renal transplantation. The purpose of this case description was to document the imaging findings in the breast associated with PTLD.
