Abstract

Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) is a rare genodermatosis, characterized by a skin eruption of thin squamous macules and papules, commonly scattered on the trunk, face, and limbs [1]. Two susceptibility loci are known: EV1 on chromosome 17 and EV2 on chromosome 2 [2]. This skin eruption is related to beta-group Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection, among which types 5, 8, 17, and 20 are the commonest. The severity of the disease is linked to the development of (pre)cancerous lesions (mainly [...]
