Abstract

In post-transplant patients, de novo malignancies such as post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD), lung carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, cutaneous malignancies, and Kaposi sarcoma are now seen. The immunotherapy used to prevent graft failure indirectly increases their risk. We present a rare case of visceral Kaposi sarcoma in a patient with orthotopic liver transplant.
