Abstract:
It has been widely reported in the literature that malignant neoplasms are a recognised complication of immunosuppression following organ transplantation. These days, immunosuppressive drugs are being used for many conditions outside the transplant setting. A case of a de novo astrocytoma in a patient on long-term immunosuppression for psoriatic arthritis is described.
