Immunosuppression after solid-organ transplantation can lead to opportunistic infections as cryptococcosis. A 69-year-old female, cadaveric renal-transplant recipient, manifested with ulcerative lesions on the 7th month of immunosuppression. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of cryptococcosis. Treatment with systemic and topical antifungal therapy for 7 months concluded in significant cutaneous improvement. This case presentation encourages high clinical suspicion of opportunistic pathogens such as Cryptococcus spp. and highlights the necessity of appropriate management.
