Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease is a rare disorder with an annual incidence of 0.5% to 3.7%. Development of this disorder carries with it a poor prognosis. In this report, we describe a rare case of post-transplant primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (PT-CTCL) mycosis fungoides stage IIB in a patient following kidney transplantation, as well as a review of PT-CTCL reported in the literature. The treatment following diagnosis included bexarotene, cyclosporine, and prednisone. Currently, the patient is free from disease. This information aims to add to the knowledge of the prevalence and management of PT-CTCL.
