  • Title: [Xeroderma pigmentosum: report of 6 cases in Dakar].
    Author: Dieng MT, Niang SO, Dangou JM, Ndiaye B.
    Journal: Bull Cancer; 2001 Feb; 88(2):199-202. PubMed ID: 11257594.
    Abstract:
    We report 6 cases of black Senegalese boys with xeroderma pigmentosum. They were between 2 and 16 year-old and presented features of hypersensitivity to UV (keratosis, lentigines, poikilodermia and photophobia). Our cases were remarkable by the early occurrence of squamous cell and basal cell carcinoma located in photoexposed sites causing the death of 5 of them. Xeroderma pigmentosum must be considered as the first preneoplastic genodermatosis.
