Abstract
Background:
Only three patients have been reported with basal cell carcinomas in skin involved with Darier's disease.
Objective:
We report the fourth case and discuss the possible pathogenetic relationship between both diseases.
Results:
In our case, oral retinoids made evident other basal cell carcinomas hidden in keratotic papules of the Darier's disease.
Conclusion:
Early excision of the tumor could be obtained.
