O Braun-Falco, and A Galosi, and M Dorn, and G Plewig

Aromatic retinoid Ro 10-9359 1 mg/kg body weight was given to an 11-year-old girl with xeroderma pigmentosum. Therapy resulted in disappearance of actinic keratoses and basal cell carcinomas. The occurrence of new tumors could be prevented in this patient while she participated in this preventive therapy for 7 months. The reduction of the aromatic retinoid to 0.4 mg/kg body weight every other day resulted in the reappearance of four basal cell carcinomas an one keratoacanthoma within 6 weeks.
