Post-hematopoietic stem cell transplant secondary solid neoplasms are uncommon and usually host-derived. We describe a 6-year-old female who developed a mixed donor-recipient origin mesenchymal stromal tumor-like lesion in the liver following an unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplant complicated by severe graft-versus-host disease. This lesion arose early post-transplant in association with hepatic graft-versus-host disease. At 12 years post-transplant, the neoplasm has progressively shrunken in size and the patient remains well with no neoplasm-associated sequelae. This report characterizes a novel lesion of mixed origin post-transplant and offers unique insights into the contribution of bone marrow-derived cells to extra-medullary tissues.

IntroductionPost-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a well-recognised serious complication of transplantation. However, it rarely affects muscle.MethodsA case report detailing presentation, evaluation, management and outcome of a patient with acute on chronic proximal myopathy on a background of allogeneic stem cell transplant is described. The patient was diagnosed with PTLD affecting skeletal muscle.ResultsA 54 year old man presented with painful proximal myopathy seven years after successful allogeneic stem cell transplant for acute myeloid leukaemia. He had been managed with immunosuppression for extensive cutaneous graft versus host disease (GVHD) from the time of transplant. Initial quadriceps muscle biopsy showed changes in keeping with GVHD and features suggestive of drug-related necrotising myositis. The painful myalgia evolved to include bulbar muscles with dysphagia despite pulse steroid and intravenous immunoglobulin therapy. A positron emission tomography (PET) scan demonstrated intense and extensive hyper-metabolism in multiple muscle groups in keeping with diffuse myositis with the most prominent activity involving neck muscles, the left shoulder girdle and left arm musculature. A second biopsy of the sternocleidomastoid demonstrated infiltration with haematolymphoid cells consistent with post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder. Treatment with reduction in immunosuppression, rituximab and rehabilitation saw improvement in myalgia and weakness. Unfortunately, exacerbation of chronic GVHD ensued following reduction in immunosuppression and contributed to oesophageal stricturing eventually requiring a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube for feeding.ConclusionThis case highlights the complex morbidity of allogeneic stem cell transplant and the need to consider PTLD in the differential for patients who present with neurological symptoms.
