Abstract

Sebaceous hyperplasia can occur on the face during middle age, particularly in men. The risk of sebaceous hyperplasia is significantly increased in adult transplant patients, particularly males, following renal transplantation, and this is related to therapy with cyclosporine. We report on 2 cases of sebaceous hyperplasia in renal transplant patients who were treated with cyclosporine. The condition was improved, without scarring, by treatment with carbon dioxide laser or cryotherapy.
