Abstract
Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by extreme sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, resulting in an increased risk of skin cancer and other UV-induced malignancies. Reports of hematological malignancies occurring in patients with XP are found in the literature, but they seem to be quite rare. This report describes a 29-year-old male patient with XP who developed Hodgkin lymphoma. The potential increased risk of lymphoma in XP patients is highlighted in this paper; however, further studies are needed to better understand the underlying mechanisms of lymphomagenesis in XP patients and to develop optimal treatment strategies for hematological and other internal malignancies in this setting.
