Abstract
Malignant lymphoma infiltrating the brachial artery in a renal transplant patient has not been documented previously. We report an angiodestructive B-cell lymphoma in a 64-year-old post-renal transplant recipient. Improved longevity post-transplantation has been associated with an increased incidence of cancer which means that we will be seeing such patients more frequently in the future.
