An unusual combination of findings in renal transplantation.
Three cases involving renal scans that showed both severe photopenia and also increase in uptake in a rim surrounding the renal graft are presented.

The increased rim of activity has been rarely mentioned in the literature in the past and its possible causes are discussed.
