Clinical And Dermatoscopic Fading Of Post-transplant Eruptive Melanocytic Nevi After Suspension Of Immunosuppressive Therapy

Abstract

Excess melanocytic nevi have been reported in several groups of immunosuppressed patients, including organ transplant recipients. We report the case of a 16-year-old transplant recipient whose post-transplant melanocytic nevi decreased in size and color after graft rejection and interruption of immunosuppressive therapy. This case may represent a visual example of an effective immunosurveillance system against melanocytic nevi.
