This report describes the clinical, histological and electron microscopic observations in a 51-year-old male with epidermodysplasia veruciformis (EV). Cells with early signs of malignant transformation were found closely connected with virus infected epidermal regions. Skin cancers appeared initially on sun-exposed areas, such as the face and ear lobes. The UV-induced DNA repair synthesis was therefore studied, utilizing peripheral leukocytes. The patient had 40% lower UV-induced DNA repair synthesis than the mean of nine healthy subjects of the same age. These results suggest that a decrease in UV-induced DNA repair synthesis in combination with a possibly oncogenic viral infection may enhance the disposition for somatic mutations and malignant transformation in patients with EV.
本报告描述了一名51岁疣状表皮发育不良(EV)男性患者的临床、组织学和电子显微镜观察结果。发现具有早期恶性转化迹象的细胞与病毒感染的表皮区域紧密相连。皮肤癌最初出现在面部和耳垂等阳光暴露部位。因此,利用外周血白细胞研究了紫外线诱导的DNA修复合成。该患者紫外线诱导的DNA修复合成比九名同龄健康受试者的平均值低40%。这些结果表明,紫外线诱导的DNA修复合成减少,再加上可能致癌的病毒感染,可能会增加EV患者发生体细胞突变和恶性转化的倾向。
