Expert comments for publication:
This editorial by Olivier Detry of the University of Liege, Belgium, discusses the T cell lymphoma transmission case of Harbell et al. (Harbell JW et al., Am J Transplant 2008; 8:238-244) (NOTIFY records 193, 194, 195). In this case one donor transmitted T cell lymphoma to 4/4 recipients. Prof. Detry raises the possibility that this may have represented cerebral metastasis rather than a primary CNS T cell lymphoma in the donor, notes the desirability but difficulty in obtaining family consent for donor autopsies, and stresses the importance of careful surgical exploration at the time of donation with frozen section analysis if necessary.
