title: Skin and mucosal lesions associated with cyclosporin A therapy: report of a case.
abstract: A 16-year-old boy developed bullous lesions on fingers, ears, tongue, and buccal mucosa as well as cauliflower-like growths on the epiglottis and vocal cords 1 1/2 years after a second renal transplantation and exposure to sunlight while receiving cyclosporin A (CsA). Withdrawal of CsA was followed by complete resolution of skin and mucosal lesions. A predisposition for adverse reactions to CsA is suggested, as additional side effects of CsA therapy were also present.
