ABSTRACT

A rare autosomal recessive disorder called Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) affects the repair of nucleotide excisions against UV light. This results in a higher risk of developing neurological, cutaneous, and ophthalmological disorders with a higher rate of cell turnover. Photosensitivity, hyperpigmentation, ichthyosis in sun-exposed areas, and an elevated incidence of melanomas of the skin and eyes as well as basocellular and squamous cell carcinoma are the main distinctive traits. This case report describes a fifty-year-old Indian male patient who developed XP late and presented with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The patient recognized his health issue quickly and promptly visited the hospital because it is a terrible and fatal illness. The purpose of this report's is to highlight the critical role that medical professionals play in treating in capacitating illnesses. The objective of this study is to teach the public and medical professionals how to recognize theearly signs of xeroderma pigmentosa.
