Dermatologic lesions in a transplant population.
Many authors have reported an increase in the incidence of skin neoplasia in renal transplant patients. Two hundred and twenty-three patients, who received a renal transplants between 1965 and 1984, were examined for the presence of skin lesions. There was a high incidence of simple warts (24%) and hyperkeratoses (21%). Frank malignancy had developed in 9 patients; this is more than 4 times the expected incidence for the population of Northern Ireland.
