Özet

A case of xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), whose initial treatment included excision of multisentric cutaneous malignancies resurfaced with a pedicled upper arm flap and dermal grafts simultaneously, is reported. Although tumor control was achieved in the grafted areas, tumors continued to develope in adjacent ungrafted skin. The importance of radical excision of exposed skin in severe cases of XP is emphasised.
