Current immunosuppression improved long-term outcome of transplant patients, but it also increased the incidence of de novo malignancy. Organ transplant recipients have a three to four-fold increased risk of developing carcinoma in comparison with the general population. Common malignancies encountered after transplantation include cancer of the skin, lips, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease, ano-genital carcinoma and Kaposi sarcoma. Squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue is very rare. We report here a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue in an adult male patient who developed it 11 years post-transplant. He underwent right hemiglossectomy and his graft function remained stable.

Split-hand/split-foot malformation (SHFM) is a rare congenital disorder arising due to the absence of one or more central digits of the hand or feet or both. Here, we describe a case of a 60-year-old gentleman with familial SHFM associated with a solitary mid pole cyst in the left kidney on imaging and chronic interstitial nephritis in renal biopsy.
