Orbital Epstein-Barr Virus-Related Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder In A 13-Year-Old Girl With Cord Blood Transplantation

Epstein-Barr virus-associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (EBV-PTLD) is increasingly recognized as a life-threatening complication after transplantation. Most areas affected by EBV-PTLD are lymph nodes, with occasional reports of extranodal lesions such as the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system; however, orbital regions are extremely rare. We report a case of EBV-PTLD in a cord blood transplant recipient with a tumor in the upper right eyelid. Ultimately, eye symptoms were the first signs of PTLD. Transplant physicians should consider the possibility of PTLD when encountering an orbital lesion.
