Re: Epidemodysplasia Verruciformis ( Tree Man Disease)
Epidemodysplasia Verruciformis, ( also called Lewandowsky-Lutz Dysplasia), is an extremely rare autosomal recessive genetic hereditary skin disorder associated with a high risk of carcinoma, (cancer), of the skin. It is characterized by abnormal susceptibility to human papillomaviruses(HPV's) of the skin. The resulting uncontrolled HPV infections result in the growth of scaly macules and papules, particularily on the hands and feet. A totally effective treatment method against EV has not yet been found. |
