This case report describes a 10-year-old male with a history of kidney transplantation who developed trichodysplasia spinulosa (TS), a rare skin disorder associated with immunosuppression.
The patient's condition, characterized by follicular papules and keratinous spines primarily on the face, was managed by a multidisciplinary team.
Treatment involved reducing immunosuppression and administering topical cidofovir alongside oral leflunomide, leading to significant clinical improvement over several months.
This case adds to the literature of TS management and highlights the importance of multidisciplinary care as well as the challenges of treatment accessibility due to insurance limitations.
