ABSTRACT

For this reason, we think that it is appropriate for the patients to be protected from the sun and closely followed by the dermatologists.

Herein, we present two siblings diagnosed with Epidermodisplasia verrusiformis. One of the siblings is a 13-year-old girl and the other is a 15-year-old. There were skin lesions on the hands, face and neck for five years. In patients diagnosed with Epidermodispazia verruculiformis, particularly in the sun-exposed areas, cutaneous malinites can develop in younger ages.

Epidermodisplasia verrusiformis (Lewandowsky Lutz syndrome) is a rare, autosomal recessive genodermatosis characterized by a defect in cellular immunity and increased susceptibility to Human Papillomavirus infection. Typical clinical findings include pityriasis versicolor-like macules, flat wart-like papules, psoriasiform red papules, and pigmented keratotic lesions resembling seborrheic keratosis. Cutaneous malignancies can develop on sun-exposed regions.
