Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) is a rare genetic disease caused by human papilloma virus, presenting with pityriasis versicolor-like, verruca-like, and seborrheic keratosis-like plaques and may predispose to cutaneous malignancy. We report two siblings with EV whose lesions regressed with systemic retinoids. |
