Abstract
This case report describes xeroderma pigmentosum in an 8-year old boy. At the age of 4 he was diagnosed with aggressive keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma. Surgical treatment, close-focus radiotherapy, isotretinoin and cyclosporine were ineffective. At the age of 8 he had multiple tumors on the face and concha of the ear, with destruction of adjacent bone and cartilage and regional nodal metastasing.
