Lewandowsky-Lutz dysplasia: A very rare skin disease involving a genetic susceptibility to the human papillomaviru. Scaly macules (flat pigmented skin lesion) and skin bumps develop on the skin, especially on the back of the hands. The condition carries an increased risk of skin cancer, especially in sun-exposed parts of the body such as the back of the hands. The warty growths can become very extensive and surgery may be needed to remove them. More detailed information about the symptoms, causes, and treatments of Lewandowsky-Lutz dysplasia is available below.
