title: [Gingival hyperplasia and serous papules due to cyclosporin treatment].
abstract: After 3 months of immunosuppressive treatment with cyclosporin because of a focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, a 13-year-old female developed marked gingival hyperplasia, hypertrichosis of the arms and papulo-vesicular skin lesions on the left leg. Histological and immunohistological examinations of the gingivae showed hyperplasia of the mucosa with perivascular infiltrates of plasma and B cells in the submucosa. The lesions on the leg revealed signs of cutaneous vascular inflammation with eosinophils, but there was no evidence of leucocytoclastic vasculitis. Ten months after discontinuation of cyclosporin, the lesions had nearly regressed. The patient's renal function deteriorated progressively to the point of terminal insufficiency.
