“…Although the lesions of MC have been noted, the frequency of MC in renal transplant population seems to be low. In most of the studies covering large numbers of patients who underwent renal transplantation, MC had not been reported (11–15). In a group of 120 renal transplant patients whose lesions were biopsied and/or resected, there was only one case of MC (16).…”

Atypical presentations of molluscum contagiosum (MC) infection can be expected in renal transplant recipients, as a result of long-term immunosuppression. However, giant MC has rarely been reported in this population. We present a 28-year-old female renal transplant recipient receiving immunosuppressive therapy who developed multiple giant MC lesions on her axillary folds. The lesions were treated successfully with curettage and electrocauterization.

“…In the western studies, the incidence of cutaneous malig nancies amongst renal transplant recipients varied from 8% at 1 year to 44% at 15 years [18][19][20]. Hoxtell et al [19] esti mated that transplant recipients were 34.4 times more prone to develop squamous cell carcinoma than the control population.…”

A total of 157 renal allograft recipients were followed for over 1–23 months for the development of dermatological lesions. The non-infective lesions related to immunosuppressive drugs included cushingoid features in 133 (84.7%), xerosis in 120 (76.4%), striae in 69 (43.9%), hypertrichosis in 65 (21.6%), facial erythema in 42 (26.7%) and friable skin in 34 (21.4%) patients. Of the infective lesions, cutaneous mycoses were the most frequent (82.6%) and included tinea corporisand cruris in 82 (52.2%), tinea versicolor in 21 (13.3%), candidiasis in 7 (4%), onychomycosis in 4 (2%) and cryptococcosis in 2 (1.2%) patients. Viral infections included those due to herpes zoster in 17 (10.8%), herpes simplex in 5 (3.1%) and viral warts in 13 (8.2%) patients. Cutaneous malignancy was seen in 1 patient only.

“…[19] In Western studies, the incidence of cutaneous malignancies among RTR varied from 8% at 1 year to 44% at 15 years. [20][21][22] The cumulative effect of viral infections, prolonged immunosuppression and sunlight has been thought to predispose to the development of skin cancer in the transplant population. The incidence of skin cancer in the Indian study by Chugh et al [2] was only 0.6%, while in our study, there were no cutaneous malignancies.…”
