Introduction:
Epidermodysplasia verrucifomis (EV) is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis, associated with a high susceptibility to infection with particular genotypes of human papillomaviruses (HPV) that are innocuous for the general population. Acquired forms of EV have been recently distinguished as an entity occurring in immunocompromised patients such as HIV-infected subjects or organ-transplant recipients.1 Clinical presentation can be variable, often similar to the inherited forms. Studies reporting acquired EV in renal-transplant recipients are scarce. Herein, we report a case of an acquired EV in a renal-transplant recipient and review the available literature data.
