ABSTRACT

Genodermatosis is a heterogeneous group of diseases of the skin, that share their genetic conditioning. Two cases of genodermatosis by keratinization disorders are presented. Male patient, 1 year old with bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma and a female patient of 18 years of age diagnosed with Erythrokeratodermia variabilis. In both cases, histopathological examination is performed. Both are considered rare disease with autosomal dominant inheritance, chronic course and impact on quality of life of patients.
