Acquired epidermodysplasia verruciformis is a rare condition that can occur in patients who are immunocompromised, particularly recipients of a renal transplant. In a patient who has had a renal transplant, acquired epidermodysplasia verruciformis has a greater propensity for developing non-melanoma skin cancer. It is critical to emphasise an early and accurate diagnosis, and regularly monitor this high-risk population.
