abstract:
Epstein–Barr virus-associated gastric carcinoma (EBVaGC)
is a unique type of gastric cancer, defined as the presence
of EBV in gastric tumour cells, usually identified by
in situ hybridization. A poorly differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma
was detected in a kidney recipient 33 years after
transplantation. Neoplastic epithelial cells were EBV positive
by in situ hybridization. Gene sequencing confirmed
the amplicon specificity, and real-time polymerase chain
reaction quantified 2 600 000 genomes/μL DNA in neoplastic
tissue. No cases of EBVaGC have been reported
in solid organ transplants, thus this is the first case of
de novo EBVaGC arising in a 65-year-old renal transplant
recipient.
