%X Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a serious complication that accounts for up to 20% of malignancies after solid organ transplantation. We describe a rare case of isolated PTLD in the adrenal gland occurring 7 months after liver transplant in a patient who developed a primary Epstein-Barr virus infection. He was treated with rituximab and his immunosuppression regimen was minimized. We review the incidence, pathogenesis, presentation, and management of PTLD in the liver-transplant population. Our case highlights the variation in the presentation of PTLD and the importance of a high index of suspicion among the at-risk group
