Abstract
DEPS is characterized by diffuse involvement of chronically sun-exposed skin with atypical keratinocytes that grow along the inferior portion of the basal layer of the epidermis and around adnexal structures. The treatment of DEPS is challenging because of its widespread nature and deeper periadnexal involvement. DEPS is also associated with the development of invasive squamous cell and basal cell carcinomas.
