ABSTRACT
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is being widely used as a maintenance imunosuppressive therapy in renal transplant patients. Myelotoxicity and gastrointestinal symptoms are the well-known adverse effects of this immunosuppressant. However, there areexistonly two reports on oral ulceration associtated with MMF. Although oral ulcerations are not life-threatening, they may seriously affect the quality of life. We report ourthe experience of a case of a 57-year-old female patient with painful oral mucosal ulcerations that improved following MMF discontinuation.
