Objective To summarize experience of clinical diagnosis and treatment for liver posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder(PTLD). Method  The clinical diagnosis and treatment processes of 3 patients with live PTLD in this hospital were retrospectively analyzed and the relevant literatures were reviewed. Results The EB virus was negative and CD20 was positive for these 3 patients with liver PTLD, the time of onset was 10 to 12 years after liver transplantation, and the tacrolimus was given for anti-immune following liver transplantation. The pathological diagnosis was diffuse large B cell lymphoma for all the patients. Conclusions With use of large quantities of immunosuppressive drugs following liver transplantation, incidence of liver PTLD gradually rises. Meanwhile, prognosis is poor and early diagnosis is difficult. Currently, diagnosis and classification is still dependent on pathological examination. EB virus positive patients show earlier onset, while EB negative patients show later onset with a poorer prognosis. Therefore, a long-term follow-up should be conducted for early detection, and rituximab should be administrated to patients with CD20(+).
