Rapid progression to high‐grade dysplasia in barrett's esophagus after liver transplantation

Rapid progression to high‐grade dysplasia in barrett's esophagus after liver transplantation There is an increased incidence of malignancies in transplant recipients. Accelerated progression from a premalignant lesion to carcinoma has been reported in transplant recipients with skin cancer and colon cancer. Whereas Barrett's esophagus is a common premalignant condition in the normal population, rapid progression to severe dysplasia or carcinoma has not been widely reported in transplant recipients. We report on a liver transplant recipient who developed rapid progression from Barrett's esophagus without dysplasia to high‐grade dysplasia within 9 months after transplantation. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Liver Transplantation Wiley

Abstract

There is an increased incidence of malignancies in transplant recipients. Accelerated progression from a premalignant lesion to carcinoma has been reported in transplant recipients with skin cancer and colon cancer. Whereas Barrett's esophagus is a common premalignant condition in the normal population, rapid progression to severe dysplasia or carcinoma has not been widely reported in transplant recipients. We report on a liver transplant recipient who developed rapid progression from Barrett's esophagus without dysplasia to high‐grade dysplasia within 9 months after transplantation.
