Expert comments for publication: 
It is not clear whether the myeloma that arose in the recipient 18 months after transplant was a posttransplant EBV-negative event, or represented malignancy transferred from the 67 year old donor at the time of transplant. No suspicion of neoplasia in the donor was present clinically at the time of transplant. No further donor related studies were possible.
