  • Title: Epidermodysplasia verruciformis in the setting of HIV infection.
    Author: Chen P, Kamino H, Walters RF, Rosenman K, Pomeranz MK, Sanchez M.
    Journal: Dermatol Online J; 2008 Oct 15; 14(10):1. PubMed ID: 19061600.
    Abstract:
    A 56-year-old man with human immunodeficiency virus infection presented with pink-to-hypopigmented, thin, flat-topped papules coalescent to plaques on the trunk and extremities for five years. The histopathologic findings were consistent with flat warts resembling epidermodysplasia verruciformis. Typically an inherited condition, this entity has also been observed in the setting of immunosuppression; the risk of developing non-melanoma skin cancers is of concern. Treatment options vary considerably, but often the lesions will recur upon cessation of therapy.
