Abstract
Epidermodysplasia verruciformis is a rare genodermatosis characterized
by inherited susceptibility to infection with certain papillomaviruses, which
leads to the development of disseminated plane wart-like lesions. In some patients,
lesions resembling pityriasis versicolor appear. Epidermodysplasia verruciformis
has also been reported in immunosuppressed patients, most notably those
with HIV infection. The affected patients are predisposed to development of skin
and mucosal malignancies. We describe the rare occurrence of plasmablastic lymphoma
in a patient with long lasting epidermodysplasia verruciformis and hepatitis
B virus infection.
