Abstract
Primary ocular posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorder is rare. Ep stein-Barr virus is implicated as the cause as a result of systemic immunos uppression after transplant surgery. We studied a patient who developed ocu lar posttransplantion lymphoproliferative disorder after orthotopic liver t ransplantation. Slitlamp and light microscopic photographs confirmed the di agnosis.
