Skin lesions in kidney transplant recipients.
A complete examination of the skin was performed in 53 kidney transplant recipients. Cutaneous lesions were detected in almost all patients. Papillomavirus infections, premalignant and malignant lesions represent the greatest risk for these patients. Our study underlines the importance of a continuous observation to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment of these lesions.
