Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder presented as small bowel intussusception in adult liver transplant patient.
Abstract
Intestinal obstruction after liver transplant is a rare complication, with diverse
clinical manifestations. Intestinal adhesion is the most common cause. However, internal
hernia, abdominal wall hernia, and neoplasm are also reported. Intussusception is
another rare cause of intestinal obstruction, which has been reported primarily in
pediatric patients. Herein, we report a case of intestinal obstruction from intussusception
in an adult liver transplant patient associated with post-transplant lymphoproliferative
disorder.

I am convinced that caring for patients with malignant hematologic diseases requires

their treatment and recovery and I work with them to develop an individualized treatment
plan that includes the most advanced therapies available today. My practice focuses
primarily on disorders of the lymphatic system (Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymph
