description Inflammatory bowel disease following a solid organ transplantation while the patient is receiving immunosuppressive therapy is a rare phenomenon. Here we present a 48-year-old man who underwent cardiac transplantation 9 years earlier and was receiving cyclosporine as immunosuppressive therapy since then, presenting with complaints of rectorrhagia and diarrhea.
