An interesting case of epidermodysplasia verruciformis with a 12‐year‐follow‐up is reported. During the period of observation, the patient developed leprosy (TT), skin tuberculosis, molluscum contagiosum, tinea corporis and condylomata acuminata lesions. Mantoux, lepromin and DNCB sensitization tests for cell mediated immunity (CMI) were negative. The significance of these findings is briefly discussed.
