Abstract: Given a finite group $G$, denote by $Gamma(G)$ the simple undirected graph whose vertices are the distinct sizes of noncentral conjugacy classes of $G$, and set two vertices of $Gamma(G)$ to be adjacent if and only if they are not coprime numbers. In this note we prove that, if $Gamma(G)$ is a $k$-regular graph with $kgeq1$, then $Gamma(G)$ is a complete graph with $k+1$ vertices.
