Recurrent oral ulcerations following heart transplant in a pediatric patient: A diagnostic dilemma

Pediatric Transplantation
Namir AsmarAngela Punnett

Abstract

Oral ulceration is a non-specific clinical finding with many potential causes. The persistence of oral ulcers in the context of a patient post-SOT is concerning for PTLD. There is growing evidence that SOT recipients may also be at higher risk of autoimmune diseases. This case report describes a pediatric patient with persistent oral ulcers after heart transplant, who underwent an extensive workup for PTLD, including repeat investigations, with a subsequent diagnosis of Behçet's disease.
