Expressiveness and Complexity in Underspecified Semantics

Abstract

Various types of malignant ocular-cutaneous tumours relating to sunlight developed in xeroderma pigmentosum patients. These disorders are more prevalent in severe and moderate forms of xeroderma pigmentosum. Lesions occur almost exclusively in the eyelids, conjunctiva, limbus and/or cornea. The rapid regression of these tumours, particularly in the cornea and limbus, may cause blindness, emphasising the importance of early management and regular monitoring of patients in order to allow early diagnosis of this condition, thereby ensuring the least mutilant treatment possible.
