Abstract
|
|
|
Inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus (ILVEN) first mentioned by Unna. in 1896 is a rare variant of epidermal nevus characterized clinically by early onset in childhood, moderate to marked pruritus and persistent clinical course and histopathologically by predominant features of a chronic dermatitis or psoriasis.
We present the first recorded case of a typical ILVEN developed in a 20-pear-old Korean male, who has had an intensely pruritic linear verrucous patch, involving the entire length of the posterior aspect of right upper extremity, volar aspect of right thumb and nails of index and ring finger since 5 years.
Microscopic examination of the skin biopsy specimens from the lesion on the right elbow joint area and the palm showed hyperkeratosis with focal parakeratosis, moderate to marked acanthosis and elongation of rete ridges and papilla with mild exocytosis and moderate perivascular lymphocytic infiltration. Literature were reviewed.
