Zusammenfassung:A 27-year old caucasian male was diagnosed 2.7 years after kidney transplantation with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated smooth muscle tumors in liver and spleen. The reduction in immunosuppression and conversion from tacrolimus to sirolimus did not lead to a regression of the tumors. Additionally, the patient developed a cellular rejection of his renal allograft, which was successfully treated. A combined approach with stereotactic radiofrequency ablation (SRFA) and surgical resection was effective in the treatment of the tumors.
