Abstract

0 RGAN transplantations have in the last years modified treatment of some diseases with bad outcome. However, regardless of the benefits of transplantation, some inconveniences have limited its success. Rejection, drug toxicity, or opportunistic infections together with neoplasm have been described occurring in these patients. In the past years, the occurrence of neoplasms has been quite rare; recently, however, their manifestations have consistently increased. We report the occurrence of neoplasms and their relative percentage in a group of 339 transplanted patients from the University of Rome “La Sapienza” between 1990 and 1995. The aim of our study was to estimate the relative occurrence of each neoplasm in our case population, the histologic subtype, the degree of differentiation, the site of involvement, disease-free survival from the date of transplant, and the type of neoplasm developed correlated to the organ transplanted and the drug administered.
