چکیده
|
Kaposi᾽s sarcoma (ks) can develop in 0.06% to 4.1% of kidney transplant recipients. here we describe a case of 50-year-old man who developed ks a few months after kidney transplantation. after transplantation,he had delayed graft function and was managed by anti-thymocyte globulin (atg) for five days. at the discharge,his immunosuppressive therapy was prednisolone 20 mg/day,ttacrolimus (pprograf®) 4 mg/day,and mycophenolate mofetil (mmf) 2 gr/day,while he also took vvalcyte and diltiazem. once diagnosed with ks,the prograf® (tacrolimus) was replaced by prednisolone (5 mg/day) and sirolimus (2 mg/day). gradually the skin nodule on the patient arm disappeared,and the others nodule on the right his leg was decreased. it seems that the examination of skin should be a part of regular follow-up and dermatologist examination is recommended every 6 months. © 2017 tehran university of medical sciences. all rights reserved.
