Calciphylaxis is a rare dermatological condition strongly associated with chronic kidney disease. The pathophysiology and optimum treatment remain uncertain. Calciphylaxis is known mostly to affect dialysis patients but is less frequently reported in renal transplant recipients. We report the case of a renal transplant recipient who had undergone previous total parathyroidectomy.
