BACKGROUND: The risk of developing @entity5 is increased after transplantation, which is believed to be related to the use of immunosuppressive agents. Although the risk of @entity1583 and @entity1489 are clearly increased in this setting, the association with @entity14 is controversial. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of @entity1 with renal transplantation who developed @entity14 (1985-2001). RESULTS: Over 17 years (1985-2002), 31 (5.5%) @entity1 out of 556 renal transplant recipients developed @entity5 ; 23 @entity1489 and 8 non @entity1489 . Three @entity1 (0.5%) developed @entity14 . All were @entity1 of mean age 65 years. The mean elapsed time from transplantation to symptoms was 11 years. They were all treated with @entity500 , antilymphocyte globulin, @entity229 , and additional immunosuppressive agents, such as @entity618 , or @entity205 . The @entity1 with @entity14 underwent resection with primary @entity254 . They all experienced uneventful postoperative courses; no @entity834 occurred. Two @entity1 were found to have liver metastases at the time of operation. CONCLUSIONS: Our cases and a literature review suggest that there is no increase risk of @entity14 among transplant recipients compares to the general population. Whether @entity14 has a more aggressive course in transplant @entity1 needs further evaluation.
