A 77-year-old man presented to our dermatology clinic with a gradually progressing
lesion on his scalp and a horny protuberance on his left cheek of 3 years and 7 months
duration, respectively. He had undergone renal transplantation for hypertensive nephropathy-related
end stage renal disease 24 years ago and was receiving daily oral cyclosporine, mycophenolate
mofetil and prednisolone. Azathioprine, which was part of the initial immunosuppressive
regimen was substituted by mycophenolate mofetil 10 years ago. He was taking allopurinol,
rosuvastatin and dutasteride for gout, hyperlipidemia and benign prostatic hyperplasia,
correspondingly. Other regular medications included lisinopril, bisoprolol, rivaroxaban
and erythropoietin.
