[Cyclosporin A gingival hyperplasia. Current status and report of a case].
Cyclosporine A selectively inhibits T cell function with minimal effect on humoral immunity. It is largely used with success in kidney transplants. A clinical case of gingival overgrowth secondary to cyclosporine therapy in a 11 year old male who received a kidney transplant is reported. Surgical excision of the excess tissue, light and electron microscopic study are accomplished.
