: Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare genetic disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. Patients with XP are extremely sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) radiation that leads to defective DNA repair. People with XP often suffer from problems in the eyes, face, neck, and other areas of the body, frequently exposed to sunlight. It is characterized by photosensitivity, dry skin, pigmentary changes of the skin, premature skin aging, and a considerable increase in incidence rates of malignant skin tumors. There is no cure for XP. In this article, we have described four patients from two families, three of whom had malignant skin tumors.

Xeroderma pigmentosum is an autosomal recessive, rare pigmentary atrophic disease of childhood that progresses to early development of senile changes in sun-exposed skin. Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) was first described in 1874 by Hebra and Kaposi. In 1882, Kaposi coined the term xeroderma pigmentosum for the condition, referring to its characteristic dry, pigmented skin. Xeroderma pigmentosum is also known as DeSanctis- Cacchione syndrome.
