Summary A case of acquired perforating dermatosis associated with diabetic nephropathy is described. The case is unusual in that the dermatosis first developed approximately 1 year after renal transplantation rather than at a time when renal function was more severely impaired or during haemodialysis. There was a partial response to treatment with isotretinoin but the use of this drug was limited by the development of hyperlipidaemia. The relevant literature is reviewed.
