Abstract
We present a 65-year old man with a relatively mild and late-onset form of XPD (resulting from two ERCC2-variants). XP is a rare, genetic disorder in the DNA repair mechanism, in which patients develop many and early skin malignancies. There are many different genetic and clinical variations of XP. Because of te relatively old age at presentation of the first skin malignancies (29 years), the diagnosis XP was recognized late. In patients with many skin malignancies but without the standard XP phenotype, it is important to consider a rare and mild form of XP.
