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.
