Abstract
Calcification within active post-transplantation lymphoproliferative d isorders has, to our knowledge, never been described. We report the ca se of a 14-month-old boy who presented 4 months after orthotopic liver transplantation with a primary calcification in a lymphoproliferative nodule involving the hepatic graft. This calcification was detected b y routine ultrasonography, visible on plain radiographs, and the post- transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder was histologically proved .
