Abstract
The incidence of solid tumor malignancy in adults following solid organ transplantation is higher than the population (6 fold increased risk) with non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC's) being the most common. While a high incidence of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD) is widely recognized in pediatric transplant recipients, the incidence of solid tumors following pediatric heart transplantation has not previously been reported. We sought to analyze the occurrence of non-PTLD malignancies in pediatric heart transplant (htx) recipients and determine the impact of such malignancies on outcome.
