Keratoacanthoma Accompanied by Multiple Lung Squamous Cell Carcinomas Developing in a Renal Transplant Recipient
نویسندگان
چکیده
Keratoacanthoma (KA) is a benign keratinocytic neoplasm that spontaneously regresses after 3-6 months and shares features with well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). An increased incidence of both KA and non-melanoma skin tumor, including SCC, is seen among immunosuppressed, organ-transplant recipients. In this report we describe a case of KA accompanied by multiple lung SCCs developing in a renal transplant recipient.

Skin carcinoma arising from donor cells in a kidney transplant recipient.
The incidence of skin cancer is increased in transplant recipients. UV radiation, papillomaviruses, and immunosuppression participate in the pathogenesis of these tumors. In addition, donor cells may leave the grafted organ, reach peripheral tissues and either induce immune phenomena or possibly take part in tissue remodeling. Herein, we investigated the possible involvement of donor cells in t...

متن کاملMalignancy After Lung Transplantation: A Literature Review
Background: Over the past two decades there have been significant improvements in the quality of life and long-term survival of lung transplant patients. Nevertheless, it has been noted that a number of malignancies have developed in lung-transplant recipients pursuant to lung transplantations. It is therefore important for medical practitioners, other health care workers, and the public to be ...
