Xeroderma pigmentosum is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disease characterized by
extreme sensitivity due to solar radiation and deficiency in excision repair DNA. Those
factors promote a set of skin abnormalities such as keratosis, hyperpigmentation, tumors in
areas exposed to sunlight, and ocular and, eventually, neurological disorders. In the present
review, we summarize the main clinical features related to a case of xeroderma
pigmentosum in a man who was not diagnosed until he was 45 years old.
