Introduction and importance: Epidermodysplasia verruciformis is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis. Clinical manifestations might be helpful in the diagnosis of this disease. However, the final diagnosis is made after a genetic and histological study. Acquired epidermodysplasia verruciformis is a form of epidermodysplasia verruciformis described in patients with compromised cell-mediated immunity. Case presentation: A 42-year-old female with a history of a pain and itch on the soles and palms started a year ago. There were multiple flat papules on the dorsal hands, scarring alopecia, malar rash, oral ulcers, Raynaud phenomenon, and palpable purpura. A histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of epidermodysplasia verruciformis. Clinical discussion: Epidermodysplasia verruciformis is an uncommon disease that affects the immune system. The coexistence of systemic lupus erythematosus and epidermodysplasia verruciformis is rarely reported in the medical literature. This paper reports a rare case in which these two diseases have coexisted. Conclusion: This publication aims to document this rare case and highlight the ideal criteria in diagnosing and treating epidermodysplasia verruciformis.
