Abstract:
Epidermodysplasia verruciformis(EV) is a rare, often familial disease, associated with human papilloma virus. It is characterized by long-lasting, wide-spread wart-like or pityriasis versicolor-like lesions from early childhood and in about one-third patients, cutaneous carcinomas develop in adult life. We report a case of 57-year-old male with EV, with lesions only on the left forearm and the hand, who had been exposed to Agent Orange during Vietnam War.
