Abstract

The surgical advances made in the area of organ transplantation along with the use of more efficacious immunosuppression have meant an increase in patient survival. This longer-living transplant population has started to exhibit cutaneous problems, some of which lead to an increased mortality while others lead to a decline in the quality of life. The primary objective was to determine the different types of cutaneous lesions encountered in the adult liver transplant population. Secondary objectives were to determine the impact, if any, of the duration of transplant, the type of immunosuppression involved and the degree of sun exposure and skin phototype, on the skin cancers encountered in this transplanted population. Two dermatologists examined 100 consecutive liver transplant recipients (LTRs) attending the transplant outpatient department. Skin examination included the face and whole body and lesions found were categorized into the following groups: cutaneous malignancies, squamoproliferative lesions, cutaneous infections and others that did not fall into any of these categories. The reasons for organ transplantation were numerous. The mean age at transplantation was 42.5 years. The average time since transplantation was 5.5...Continue Reading
