Epidermodysplasia Verruciformis: A Case Report and a Brief Review

Abstract

Epidermodysplasia verruciformis is an uncommon disorder that is transmitted in an autosomal recessive manner. It is characterized by increased susceptibility to human papillomavirus infection, which presents with hypo- or hyperpigmented macular lesions, pityriasis versicolor-like lesions, and an early tendency to transform into skin cancer. We present a case of a 40-year-old male with complaints of verrucous lesions of the hands and feet. Histopathology was suggestive of EV.
