Oculocutaneous malignancies in xeroderma pigmentosum.
Xeroderma pigmentosum is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis characterized by markedly increased sensitivity to sunlight, and the early development of skin tumours. Four cases of XP with malignancy have been described with a brief review of the literature. The cases have been documented with a view to study the evolution of the disease process and the development of malignancy during the follow up period.
