Abstrakt: Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) is a rare genodermatosis associated with a high risk of skin cancer. In this report, we present three Iranian brothers and their mother with extensive seborrheic keratosis-like (SK-like) viral warts. Initial facial lesions developed in the first decade and disseminated with time. The patients showed SK-like viral warts characterized by dark brown or black pigmented proliferative lesions with hyperkeratotic surfaces. The histopathological findings were consistent with the diagnosis of EV. There are few reports of familial epidermodysplasia verruciformis especially in a mother and her three sons.
