Majocchi's granuloma and posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease in a renal transplant recipient.
Renal transplant recipients are predisposed to infection and malignancy because of underlying long-term immunosuppressive therapy. In this case report, a renal transplant patient with coexisting Trichophyton rubrum granuloma (Majocchi's granuloma) and posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) is presented, showing the undesirable effects of heavy immunosuppression. Majocchi's granuloma was probably associated with PTLD as a reflection of overimmunosuppression.
