Abstract
Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease is a recognized complicati on of immunosuppressive therapy, however, articular lymphomas involvin g the synovium are very rare. Disseminated synovial lymphoma of the kn ee with hepatic involvement in a patient after renal transplant was su ggested on bone/gallium scintigraphy and confirmed by synovial biopsy. Gallium scanning thus was instrumental in the evaluation, staging, an d proper treatment of this rare condition.
