Summary:A forty-two-year-old male recipient of a cadaver renal transplant showed multiple nodulocystic lesions on his back and lateral aspects of his neck four months after beginning immunosuppressive therapy with cyclosporine A and prednisone. Results of histopathologic studies revealed that they were epidermoid infundibular cysts. We note the relationship between this clinical appearance and cyclosporine A, as well as this agent's cutaneous side effects.
