As a serious side effect of immunosuppressive therapy following organ transplantation, the incidence of malignancies shows a significant threefold increase compared with the age-matched general population. Under treatment with conventional immunosuppressive drugs (azathioprine, steroids and antilymphocyte globulin) patients are supposed to be susceptible to skin and lip cancers (40%) whereas the recently introduced new immunosuppressive drug cyclosporine A shows a comparable incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (41%) and the patients seem to develop more potentially life threatening tumours of internal organs. In the present paper we report on a case of laryngeal carcinoma following immunosuppressive treatment with cyclosporine A 10 months after heart transplantation.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007108	Immune Tolerance	The specific failure of a normally responsive individual to make an immune response to a known antigen. It results from previous contact with the antigen by an immunologically immature individual (fetus or neonate) or by an adult exposed to extreme high-dose or low-dose antigen, or by exposure to radiation, antimetabolites, antilymphocytic serum, etc.	Immunosuppression (Physiology),Immunosuppressions (Physiology),Tolerance, Immune
