Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a serious complication of organ transplantation. The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a common site involved, but non-specific signs and symptoms often delay the diagnosis.

He presented with chronic diarrhea and developed massive pneumo-peritoneum secondary to multiple colonic perforations. |
