Abstract
Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder is a lymphocyte proliferating disease, usually of B cell origin, and rarely of T cell. Involvement
of liver itself in liver transplant recipients as the primary organ is not common. Herein we report our experience in two patients who primarily
presented in the allografted liver, both of whom were promptly diagnosed after liver biopsy and treated successfully .Now after a few months;
both of the patients are alive with normal liver function tests and negative imaging studies.
