We discuss the clinical, laboratory findings and treatment of a boy who developed Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) after renal transplant and some issues about lymphoproliferative disorders after transplantation.

Abstract.: We compared postoperative morbidity with the Küstner (n=53) and Pfannenstiel (n=131) incisions in a consecutive series of women undergoing surgery for benign gynecological conditions. The incidence of febrile morbidity (15.1% vs 23.7%, χ 21=1.19, P=0.28) and wound infection (5.7% vs 9.2%, P=0.56, Fisher's exact test) were higher in the Pfannenstiel then in the Küstner group, but neither difference was statistically significant. One suprafascial hematoma was observed after a Küstner incison compared with eight subfascial hematomas after a Pfannenstiel incision (1.9% vs 6.1%, P=0.45, Fisher's exact test). The postoperative hospital stay was statistically significantly lower in the Küstner than in the Pfannenstiel group (6.3±1.4 vs 7.1±1.2 days, P<0.01, Student's t test). The Küstner incision warrants further evaluation and usage.
