Title: Bilateral facial squamous cell carcinoma in an 18-month-old girl with xeroderma pigmentosum. Author: Alymlahi E, Dafiri R. Journal: J Postgrad Med; 2005; 51(2):128-30. PubMed ID: 16006708. Abstract: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin usually occurs in older patients and commonly develops from actinic keratosis. Patients with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) are highly sensitive to ultraviolet radiation and prone to develop multiple skin malignancies and can acquire SCC at an early age. We report an 18-month-old girl with XP who presented clinically because of a bilateral facial skin mass that was biopsied and found to be SCC. To our knowledge, the case we describe represents the youngest XP patient to have developed facial SCC.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
