Abstract
A 35-year-old female was diagnosed with a primary central nervous system posttransplant Epstein-Barr-virus-associated lymphoproliferative disorder three years after a renal transplantation. The histological diagnosis of the brain tumour was a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The patient had had diabetes mellitus for 28 years and was treated with four weekly doses of the monoclonal antibody rituximab, the antiviral drug ganciclovir and high-dose prednisolone, and the immune suppression was reduced. After four weeks of treatment, a control magnetic resonance image showed complete regression of the central nervous system lesion
