Abstract
Trichoblastoma is rare, benign skin neoplasm that may be difficult to distinguish from malignant baso-cellular skin cancer. Renal transplant recipients are at increased risk for development of skin malignancies. Resection and histopathological evaluation of a suspicious lesion is mandatory to determine malignant skin changes. We present the first reported case of trichoblastoma in a renal transplant recipient. Proper diagnosis enables less aggressive resection and maintenance of the same immunosuppressive protocol.
