2 CHILDREN WITH XERODERMA-PIGMENTOSUM DEVELOPING 2 DIFFERENT TYPES OFMALIGNANCIES SIMULTANEOUSLY

Patients with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) are highly sensitive to ultra violet radiation and prone to develop multiple skin malignancies. We r eport two children under 6 years of age with XP who each developed two histologically different types of malignancies simultaneously. We con clude that it is of importance to be aware of the possibility of multi ple malignancies of different types, even in young children.
