Abstract
An increased risk of skin and lymphoreticular malignancies is well documented in renal transplant patients receiving long-term immunosuppressive therapy, but squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus is rare. We have reported the first case in the English literature in which there is a strong association between long-term immunosuppressive therapy and squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. It occurred in a 28-year-old white man ten years after cadaveric kidney transplantation.Keywords
