Despite a complete response to initial therapy, children are at risk for repeated episodes of Epstein-Barr virus-associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder and smooth muscle tumors. Histology and location were not typically consistent with initial diagnosis, suggesting these are second primaries rather than recurrences. Disease may be managed with individualized treatment plans but EBV-specific T cells need further study in such tumors.
