Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis, characterized by an abnormal sensitivity to cutaneous infection for some types of human papillomaviruses (HPV) associated with a cellular immune deficit. It expresses the appearance of squamous macules and spread verrucous papules, with chronic evolution. In half of the cases, before the age of 30, appears preepitheliomatous lesions and squamous-cell carcinomas. Here we report the case of a patient having an EV complicated with squamous-cell carcinoma of the face.
