Abstract | Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated smooth muscle tumors (SMT) have been described in immunosuppressed states, including in post-transplant patients. Here, we discuss a heart-liver transplant recipient who was found to have multifocal hepatic EBV-SMT. His immunosuppression was initially transitioned from tacrolimus to sirolimus because of the proposed benefits of the mechanistic target of rapamycin inhibitors on EBV-SMT. Unfortunately, he suffered acute rejection of his liver allograft while on sirolimus therapy, which ultimately led to consideration of retransplantation. |
