✦ Synopsis
BACKGROUND.
The development of malignancies in recipients of a cardiothoracic transplant (CTT)-that is, heart, lung, or heart and lung recipients-is of concern.
Cutaneous and lymphoproliferative malignancies comprise the two major groups of malignancies encountered. A small subgroup of patients will develop potentially life-threatening aggressive cutaneous malignancies (ACM); these are poorly defined and documented in the literature. The authors report the results for 619 CTT recipients from a single institution.
