Popis: We report the case of an aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma transmission from a live renal donor to her recipient. Soon after donation, the donor developed a high-grade B cell lymphoma, and the disease became evident also in the recipient three months thereafter, showing the same biological characteristics as confirmed by IgH rearrangement, karyotype and chimerism analyses. In the recipient, the IgH clone appeared in circulating cell free DNA (cfDNA), but not in peripheral blood nor in bone marrow, one month earlier than the imaging evidence of disease. This case supports the fundamental predictive role of molecular analysis of the plasma compartment in the diagnosis and putatively follow up of lymphomas
