title: Case for diagnosis.
abstract: A 27-year-old mixed-raced (pardo) female patient presented with flat ovate hypochromic plaques with a rough surface on the back and upper limbs, with an aspect resembling pityriasis versicolor. She reports family history involving a brother with similar lesions. Lab tests, including anti-HIV, showed no alterations and a histopathological examination showed enlarged keratinocytes with basophilic and microvacuolated cytoplasm occupying the upper portion of the spinous layer and the granulous layer. After anatomic-clinical correlation, the diagnosis of epidermodysplasia verruciformis pityriasis versicolor like was confirmed.
