[Scattered papules in three Togolese children from a consanguineous marrige: epidermodysplasia verruciformis].
Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) is a rare condition characterized by diffuse flat wart-like lesions. It is an autosomal recessive genodermatosis associated with susceptibility to infection by specific human papillomavirus genotypes and a high risk of skin cancer. In this report we describe three cases of EV after a consanguineous marriage in a family with no history of EV.
