Aim This study aims to reveal cutaneous, mucosal, and nail lesions in liver transplant recipients in quite large patient series. Patients/Methods The study included 520 patients in the Inonu University Liver Transplantation Institute. New and followed-up patients attended to the study between May and October 2019. The patients were examined by a dermatologist, and their data were recorded. Results The study included 163 female and 357 male patients with the main age of 44.20 +/- 18.18 (range: 1-83 years), and 465 livers (89.4%) were taken from live donors, while 54 livers (10.4%) were taken from cadavers. A total of 314 (60.4%) patients had dermatophyte infections, 174 (33.4%) patients had pathological nail changes, and 427 (82.1%) patients had oral mucosal lesions. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) developed in 9 (1.73%) patients after the transplantation, and 5 patients died of GVHD. Four patients had cutaneous malignancies. Conclusions Tumoral and nontumoral dermatological diseases may be encountered following the transplantation depending on underlying liver disease, immunosuppressive treatment, the graft itself, or any primary cutaneous disease. Liver transplantation recipients require a multidisciplinary clinical approach, and dermatological care must be an integral part of this approach.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccesscutaneous findingslivermucosal and nail findingsskin findingstransplantationArticle209296929743348015210.1111/jocd.139442-s2.0-85100003680Q2WOS:000609287500001Q3
