Zusammenfassung:Abdominal ultrasound was performed again, that was reported dilated bowel loops containing liquid and gas .Abdominal CT scan with contrast revealed band adhesion and volvulus in treitz ligament. There are multiple factors which appear to have a role in incidence of PTLD such as, the degree of immunosuppression, EBV serostatus, and time of post-transplant, recipient age, type of allograft, sex, and ethnicity. Rituximab and chemotherapy based on morphologic subtype have been found to be effective [5]. Because PTLD treatments are most effective in the early stage, prior to the occurrence of progression, not only the early detection of PTLD, but also the determination of the clonality of PTLD, is of importance in planning of treatment. 3 Reiche W (2022) Gastrointestinal manifestations, risk factors, and management in patients with post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder: A systematic review.
