Squamous Cell Carcinoma in a Renal Transplant Recipient with Linear Porokeratosis

Abstract: A 40-year-old man developed squamous cell carcinoma on a perianal lesion of linear porokeratosis after renal transplantation. The tumor metastasized to the left inguinal lymph node 25 months after the primary tumor was excised. p53 overexpression was observed in the tumor cells, but not in the porokeratotic lesion. Interestingly, continuous subcutaneous infusion of peplomycin for the lymph node metastasis significantly improved the warty lesions of porokeratosis. In this patient, immunosuppressive agents might… Show more

“…These results provided a framework for the ultimate identiWcation of a new gene for DSAP. Except for sun exposure, several risk factors, including radioactivity, virus infection (Mizukawa and Shiohara 1999), renal transplantation (Anzai et al 1999), and bone marrow transplantation (Rio et al 1997), had been associated with the development of DSAP. However, none of the above risk factors was reported in the Chinese family under this study.…”

“…In approximately 7∼11.6% of patients, however, porokeratosis is associated with malignancies such as squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and Bowen's disease. In particular, linear porokeratosis and porokeratosis of Mibelli are highly associated with these malignancies 11 . Therefore, in immunocompromised patients who develop porokeratosis, the possibility of malignant transformation must be considered, and such cases must be followed by close observation.…”
