Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a well recognized sequela of transplant related immunosuppression. Hodgkin's disease has only rarely been described in this context. We describe two cases of Hodgkin's disease after heart and heart/lung transplants respectively. Both patients continued to receive immunosuppressive therapy with cyclosporin and prednisolone, and received combination chemotherapy. One died of Aspergillus infection following the second course of chemotherapy. The other patient completed his chemotherapy and remains in remission. We discuss the possible aetiology and management of post-transplant Hodgkin's disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
