Darier's disease associated with basal cell carcinomas.
BACKGROUND
Only three patients have been reported with basal cell carcinomas in skin involved with Darier's disease.


OBJECTIVE
We report the fourth case and discuss the possible pathogenetic relationship between both diseases.


RESULTS
In our case, oral retinoids made evident other basal cell carcinomas hidden in keratotic papules of the Darier's disease.


CONCLUSIONS
Early excision of the tumor could be obtained.
