Abstract:
A possible relationship between malignant melanoma and polyomavirus-associated nephropathy in a renal transplant patient is presented. It is possible that BK polyomavirus (BKV) nephropathy and malignant melanoma developed independently. The coincidence may be related to over-immunosuppression. The presented case suggests careful oncological surveillance in patients with BKV nephropathy.
