Popis: It is well known that patients who have undergone organ transplantation (Tx) have an increased risk of developing de novo malignancies (100 times what is observed in the general population). The more frequent malignancies after Tx are carcinoma of the skin and lips, lymphoproliferative disorders and Kaposi’s sarcoma. All of them are strongly associated with viral infections (Epstein Barr virus, Human Papilomas virus, Human herpes virus 8) [1, 2].
