A 72-year-old man with a history of type 2 diabetes, renal transplant, long-term immunosuppression with prednisone and tacrolimus, and a recent diagnosis of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder, presented with a 2-week history of worsening headaches and blurry vision. Physical examination was notable for a left facial droop and 4 genital ulcerations: 2 on the left medial thigh and 2 on the left lateral scrotum. The ulcerations had well-defined pink raised borders and a thin yellowmembrane overlying the base (Fig 1). Results of a punch biopsy are shown (Fig 2).
