چکیده

503 Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprology | July-August 2012 | Vol 78 | Issue 4 clinically characterized by combination of pityriasis versicolor (PV)-like hypopigmented lesions, verruca plana-like lesions and seborrhoeic keratosis-like verrucous plaques. These PV-like lesions, especially in sun exposed areas, have higher risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). These SCC are usually multiple and locally invasive, but have low metastatic potential.[1] The authors do not exclude the possibility of chance association of EV and palmar pits; however, they believe that multiple examples of co-occurrence of two rare conditions must go beyond chance association. So far, two (including ours) such cases have been documented. The association will be further strengthened if more such cases are reported.
