Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated smooth muscle tumors (SMTs) have been described in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and, more recently, in association with immunosuppression after solid-organ transplantation. We present the autopsy findings of multiple leiomyosarcomas (LMSs) in a 24-year old man who died 18 months after undergoing orthotopic cardiac transplantation for idiopathic cardiomyopathy. The recognition of EBV-driven LMS developing in cardiac transplant recipients in multiple unusual sites is crucial for the management of these patients and should include complete surgical removal anti-viral therapy and modulation of immunosuppression.
爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒(EBV)相关的平滑肌肿瘤(SMTs)已在获得性免疫缺陷综合征(AIDS)患者中被描述,最近也有报道与实体器官移植后的免疫抑制相关。我们报告了一名24岁男性的尸检结果,该患者因特发性心肌病接受原位心脏移植18个月后死亡,尸检发现多处平滑肌肉瘤(LMSs)。认识到心脏移植受者中多个不寻常部位发生的EBV驱动的LMS对于这些患者的管理至关重要,应包括完整的手术切除、抗病毒治疗和免疫抑制的调整。
