EPIDERMODYSPLASIA VERRUCIFORMIS (LEWANDOWSKY-LUTZ): REPORT OF A CASE WITH ALL THE ESSENTIAL FEATURES

EPIDERMODYSPLASIA VERRUCIFORMIS (LEWANDOWSKY-LUTZ): REPORT OF A CASE WITH ALL THE ESSENTIAL FEATURES Abstract Epidermodysplasia verruciformis was first described by Lewandowsky and Lutz1 in 1922. Since then nearly 50 cases purporting to be instances of this disease have been recorded in the literature. It is considered to be a genodermatosis and is essentially an inherited tendency of the upper layers of the epidermis to undergo a peculiar dysplasia. Up to 1939, 42 probable cases of epidermodysplasia verruciformis were recorded in the literature. The first 24 of these cases were tabulated by Mashkilleison2 in 1928, and 18 other cases subsequently reported were tabulated by Sullivan and Ellis3 in 1939. It is noteworthy that about 40 per cent of the patients whose cases were reported were Japanese and Russian Asiatics, and the rest, except 1, were Europeans. In a critical analysis of these cases it was shown that in many instances the acceptance of the diagnosis was often based on either inconclusive evidence References 1.

Abstract

Abstract Epidermodysplasia verruciformis was first described by Lewandowsky and Lutz1 in 1922. Since then nearly 50 cases purporting to be instances of this disease have been recorded in the literature. It is considered to be a genodermatosis and is essentially an inherited tendency of the upper layers of the epidermis to undergo a peculiar dysplasia. Up to 1939, 42 probable cases of epidermodysplasia verruciformis were recorded in the literature. The first 24 of these cases were tabulated by Mashkilleison2 in 1928, and 18 other cases subsequently reported were tabulated by Sullivan and Ellis3 in 1939. It is noteworthy that about 40 per cent of the patients whose cases were reported were Japanese and Russian Asiatics, and the rest, except 1, were Europeans. In a critical analysis of these cases it was shown that in many instances the acceptance of the diagnosis was often based on either inconclusive evidence References 1.
