title: Treatment of multiple squamous cell carcinomas of the skin in an immunosuppressed patient.
abstract: A patient receiving immunosuppressive treatment through 7 years after kidney transplantation has developed 84 skin tumors during the last 3 1/2 years. 28 squamous cell carcinomas, which all were histologically highly differentiated, could not clinically be distinguished from 49 keratoses. The problem of therapy is rather delicate. In this case the patient has been followed by regular checkups four times a year and all new tumors have been removed by curettage.
