Abstract
In the Medical Clinic at the University of Basle, the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin‐A has been employed recently for kidney transplant patients. A side effect of this drug appears to be pronounced gingival enlargement. This report documents 3 such cases, with a discussion of etiology and possible treatment modalitiesKeywords
