Abstract
Epidermodysplasia verruciformis is an uncommon disorder that is transmitted in an autosomal recessive manner. It is characterized by increased susceptibility to human papillomavirus infection, which presents with hypo- or hyperpigmented macular lesions, pityriasis versicolor-like lesions, and an early tendency to transform into skin cancer. We present a case of a 40-year-old male with complaints of verrucous lesions of the hands and feet. Histopathology was suggestive of EV.
