Zusammenfassung:Solid organ transplant recipients have an increased incidence of multiple cutaneous neoplasms. OBJECTIVEWe hope to draw attention to the potential risk for organ transplant recipients to develop atypical fibroxanthomas. METHODSA review of the patientʼs medical record was performed and summarized as a case report. RESULTSWe present the case of a cardiac transplant recipient who developed three atypical fibroxanthomas. This is the first reported case of multiple atypical fibroxanthomas in an organ transplant recipient. CONCLUSIONAtypical fibroxanthomas are uncommon cutaneous malignancies for which transplant recipients may be at increased risk.
