Primary ocular posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorder is rare.
Epstein-Barr virus is implicated as the cause as a result of systemic immunosuppression
after transplant surgery. We studied a patient who developed ocular posttransplantion
lymphoproliferative disorder after orthotopic liver transplantation. Slitlamp
and light microscopic photographs confirmed the diagnosis.
