tacrolimus and Sebaceous-Gland-Diseases

Sebaceous hyperplasia, a benign proliferation ofsebaceous glands, has been well documented in organ transplant recipients treated with cyclosporine. Sebaceous hyperplasia has not been strongly associated with any other immunosuppressive medications. We report a case of eruptive sebaceous hyperplasia in a renal transplant recipient with no previous exposure to cyclosporine that was recently started on tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, and prednisone. To our knowledge, this is the first report of eruptive sebaceous hyperplasia in a renal transplant recipient who was immunosuppressed with tacrolimus and had no prior exposure to cyclosporine.
