Abstract
Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder. which patients have a reduced immunological ability to defend against and eliminate certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV), resulting in persistent infection and an increased lifetime risk of developing cutaneous dysplasia and malignancy. mostly squamous cell carcinoma was seen on sunlight-exposed areas, especially on the extremities, and forehead. Malignant transformation began in the form of actinic keratosis and early micro- invasive squamous cell carcinoma of Bowens type, rarely basal cell carcinoma. We report the case of a young patient with a history of EV who presented with a basal cell carcinoma that developed over a short period of time. The patient was successfully treated surgically.
