Abstract
Post transplant lenfoproliferative diseases (PTLPD) are generally seen in cases with solid organ transplantation (SOT) and relatively less commonly after stem cell transplantation and related with EBV infection, in 70-90% of the cases. Most commonly occurs within one year of transplantation althoug this entity may develop later than 4-6 years. Here a case with PTLPD with CNS involvement has been reported and literature has been reviewed.
