A Rare Skin Lesion in Kidney Transplant Recipients: Pyogenic Granuloma

In this article, we present two cases of renal transplant in which the patients developed a PG, because they are rarely seen and can be confused with skin malignancies in patients who have had a kidney transplant.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯

Objective & Hypothesis:Renal transplant recipients have an increased risk of malignancy, especially skin cancers.

📊

Key Findings & Data:Therefore, skin lesions in trans-plant patients should not be ignored.

💡

Conclusion & Impact:In this article, we present two cases of renal transplant in which the patients developed a PG, because they are rarely seen and can be confused with skin malignancies in patients who have had a kidney transplant.

Özet

Renal transplant recipients have an increased risk of malignancy, especially skin cancers. Therefore, skin lesions in trans-plant patients should not be ignored. Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign hyperplastic lesion of the connective tissue that manifests ulcerous and hemorrhagic masses and is therefore confused with malignancies. Repeated minor traumas, vascular wall infections, and poor oral hygiene play a role in the development of these lesions. In the literature, only three case reports of patients who have had a kidney transplant and a PG have been reported. In this article, we present two cases of renal transplant in which the patients developed a PG, because they are rarely seen and can be confused with skin malignancies in patients who have had a kidney transplant.
