Lymphoma in immunocompromised transplant patients is a feared cause of morbidity and mortality. Superimposed on the lymphoma and the transplantation immunosuppression is a rare condition: hemophagocytic syndrome (HS). HS is characterized by fever, hepatosplenomegaly and lymphadenopathy, skin rashes, jaundice, coagulopathy, and phagocytosis of blood elements with pancytopenia. Here we describe a rare but fatal case of a kidney transplant patient who developed T-cell lymphoma and HS, without evidence of EBV replication. A short review of the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of HS is given.
