A Lump of the Skin

History

A 66-year-old farmer is referred to a dermatologist for a lesion on his forearm. It is raised, 1.5 cm in diameter, with an irregular margin and a slightly ulcerated center. It is painless and has appeared over the last 6–8 months. Fifteen years earlier the patient had had a cadaveric renal transplant for renal failure due to chronic glomerulonephritis caused by immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy. This has functioned well, and he has required continuous immunosuppression. Originally this was with prednisolone and azathioprine, but later it was converted to ciclosporin. His only other medication is propranalol for hypertension which he has taken for 20 years. There is no other relevant past or family history. He has never smoked, and drinks 3–6 units of alcohol per week.
