Cecum Lymphoma after Renal Transplant (Case Report)
Background: Renal transplantation is a life-saving procedure for patients with end-stage renal disease, but it raises a risk for lymphoma. Case Presentation: A 52-year-old male presented with abdominal pain, vomiting, and abdominal distention 13 years after being transplanted. Imaging and histopathological examination revealed intestinal lymphoma. Discussion: This case, because the patient was schronically cytologically immunosuppressed and simply presented with non-specific signs and symptoms with respect to the abdomen, serves to emphasize the importance of recognizing malignancies in immunocompromised patients. Conclusion: The case was employed by the authors to primarily emphasize the requirement for early diagnosis and proper handling of intestinal lymphoma with renal transplant recipients; regular follow-up and vigilance for possible complications are also important.
