Abstract


We report a case of a 49 year-old male who had undergone liver transplant due to hepatitis C, Laennec’s cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma, and was treated with etanercept for recalcitrant generalized psoriasis. Clearance of psoriasis was achieved without any adverse effects or complications of his current conditions.
