We report a case of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) developing as a result of immunosuppression in the recipient of a liver transplant from a donor who underwent craniotomy and ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery for primary CNS lymphoma. Polymerase chain reaction assay did not isolate human herpes virus-8 in the Kaposi lesions. To our knowledge, this is the only case ever reported of KS developing after liver transplantation from a donor with lymphoma. Thus, with appropriate screening to exclude possible dissemination, patients with a history of high-grade primary CNS lymphoma treated by ventriculoperitoneal shunt and craniotomy may be accepted as donors.1 aIsik, B1 aYilmaz, S1 aKirimlioglu, V1 aKirimlioglu, H1 aYilmaz, M1 aSogutlu, G1 aAra, C1 aKatz, D  uhttps://notifylibrary.org/reference/4949
