Abstract :
Sir, xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by photosensitivity, pigmentary changes, premature skin ageing, neoplasia and abnormal DNA repair. There may be neurological abnormalities in some cases. Malignant tumors may develop as early as third or fourth year. We report two cases of XP associated with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
