Nonresolving Axillary Lymphadenopathy: An Unexpected Case of Metastatic Jejunal Adenocarcinoma in a Small-Bowel Transplant Recipient Masquerading as Posttransplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder

Intestinal transplant is an uncommon treatment of intestinal failure that has provided many patients with reduced morbidity and mortality. However, there are associated risks, including an increased risk of cancer, such as posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder and solid-organ malignancy. Here,...

Sumario:Intestinal transplant is an uncommon treatment of intestinal failure that has provided many patients with reduced morbidity and mortality. However, there are associated risks, including an increased risk of cancer, such as posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder and solid-organ malignancy. Here, we report a unique case of primary jejunal adenocarcinoma presenting initially only with axillary lymphadenopathy in a patient with recurrent posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder after multiple solid-organ transplants, including small intestine and 2 renal transplants.
