Ophthalmic and Cutaneous Manifestation of Xeroderma Pigmentosum in a 21-Year-Old Man: A Case Report

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a defect in DNA repair, leading to marked sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) light, an increased risk of cutaneous malignancies, and frequent ophthalmic complications. We present a 21-year-old man with a history of bilateral ocular melanomas and evolving cutaneous lesions suspicious for malignancy. This report highlights the clinical features, histopathologic considerations, and multidisciplinary management challenges in XP, underscoring the importance of vigilant surveillance, early intervention, and interdisciplinary care.
