[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]Large keratinocytes with pale blue-gray cytoplasm and perinuclear halo, mainly located in the topmost layers of the epidermis, are characteristic of epidermodysplasia verruciformis. The late onset of the lesions makes me wonder about an acquired disease due to subjacent immunosuppression, like the one associated to kidney transplantation.[/color][/font]

Hafeez is not able to post the diagnosis for some reason he wanted us to post for him. The diagnosis is Epidermodysplasia verruciformis.

I made a mistake by not paying due attention to the case history. The immunosupression in this patient is caused by HIV infection, and not related to organ transplantation as I was wondering.
