Özet
Early diagnosis of xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is mandatory to establish adequate sun protection, and regular examinations to detect and treat the premalignant and malignant overgrowths as early as possible. Aqueous extract from the leaves of Polypodium leucotomos (PLE) attracts attention due to its photopreventive and anticarcinogenic properties; however, more experience is needed in patients with XP. Chemical peelings help to rejuvenate the photodamaged and cancer-prone skin. However, data about their use in patients with XP is scarce. Herein, we discuss our experience with oral PLE extract and medium-depth peeling in a 34-year-old female patient with XP and the treatment outcomes.
