| Abstract: | Patients with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) are highly sensitive to ultraviolet radiation and prone to develop multiple skin
malignancies. We report two children under 6 years of age with XP who each developed two histologically different types of
malignancies simultaneously. We conclude that it is of importance to be aware of the possibility of multiple malignancies
of different types, even in young children.
