Abstract

A 24-year-old female was seen with multiple, pinkish to skin colored and brownish to black pigmented macules, papules, patch and plaque on the face, neck, upper chest, extensor surface of both forearms and dorsal hands. Histopathological diagnoses from the 75 skin biopsy specimens taken during the follow-up period of 22 months include 29 skin tumors : one malignant melanoma, one precancerous melanosis, 16 basal cell carcinamas, four squamous cell carcinomas, four actinic keratoses, one melanoacanthoma, one keratoacanthoma and one angiofibroma. It was discussed that melanoacanthoma would be considered as the one of the associated beniign skin tumors in xeroderma pigmentosum.
