Background:
Solid organ transplant recipients have an increased incidence of multiple cutaneous neoplasms.
Objective:
We hope to draw attention to the potential risk for organ transplant recipients to develop atypical fibroxanthomas.
Methods:
A review of the patient's medical record was performed and summarized as a case report.
Results:
We present the case of a cardiac transplant recipient who developed three atypical fibroxanthomas. This is the first reported case of multiple atypical fibroxanthomas in an organ transplant recipient.
Conclusion:
Atypical fibroxanthomas are uncommon cutaneous malignancies for which transplant recipients may be at increased risk.
