Renal transplantation is considered one of the best long-term therapies for
chronic renal failure, but unfortunately the incidence of malignancy significantly
increases in renal transplant recipients. We analyzed nine cases of malignancy in
200 renal transplant recipients occurring in a 12-year follow-up in Imam hospital
of Tehran University, Tehran, Iran. According to this study, the organ most
commonly affected with malignancy in our series was the skin and the mean time
of neoplasm occurrence after kidney transplantation was 2.9 years.
