[Xeroderma pigmentosum with repeated facial skin carcinogenesis: report of one case].

Xeroderma pigmentosum is a relatively rare pigment atrophic autosomal recessive genetic disease, mainly due to defect of DNA excision repair capacity, resulting in ineffective removal of UV-induced pyrimidine dimers, and finally cell damage. This paper reported a case of xeroderma pigmentosum with recurrent episodes of oral and maxillofacial carcinogenesis, and discussed the etiology, pathology, clinical characteristics, classification, diagnosis and treatment methods of Xeroderma pigmentosum.
