Abstract

Background: Experience with organ transplantation in patients with indolent lymphoma is limited, and it is unknown how the natural history of the disease is altered by chronic immunosuppressive therapy., Methods: A patient with type 1 diabetes and renal failure who underwent simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplantation was found to have stage IV small lymphocytic lymphoma at the time of transplantation. He received quadruple immunosuppressive therapy using interleukin (IL)-2 receptor antibody, tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, and prednisone., Results: Patient is doing well 3 years posttransplant with excellent graft function of both the kidney and pancreas without any evidence of progression of the disease., Conclusion: Indolent lymphoma should not be considered an absolute contraindication to organ transplantation.
