We present a 6-week-old female infant from the Lao People's Democratic Republic with a large, red, exophytic scalp mass and numerous flesh-colored verrucous plaques on her face and the right half of her body since birth. The clinical and pathological findings are consistent with the new phenotype of the large, polypoid types of nevus sebaceous.

Patients with keratotic lesions distributed in a unilateral, linear, zosteriform or localized pattern and revealing histopathologic features of dyskeratotic acantholysis have been reported previously. There is some controversy in the appropriate nosologic classification of this entity. Some authors consider it as a localized form of Darier’s disease while others place it as a variant of e...

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SP) commonly arises in conjunction with nevus sebaceous. Other less common lesions reported with SP include apocrine adenoma, condyloma acuminatum, hidradenoma papilliferum associated with hidrocystoma, poroma folliculare, and a single case ofverrucous carcinoma. We report the second case of verrucous carcinoma in conjunction with SP.

Objective To study the clinical and histopathological features of nevus sebaceous (NS). Methods We selected 20 cases of nevus sebaceous for clinical and histopathological evaluation. Results Regarding the clinical appearance of lesions verrucous plaques were seen in 60% patients, papules in 25% and patches in 15%. All of the lesions showed abortive/immature hair follicles characterized by cords...

A 23-year-old female presented with a reddish-brown dome-shaped hyperkeratotic nodule of 11 × 10 mm on the left lower leg. Dermoscopic examination demonstrated a prominent whitish scaly area with ring-like appearance, pinkish-white structureless areas, a few milia-like cysts, dotted and glomerular vessels, and light brown globules. The lesion was completely excised under the diagnosis of verruc...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Epidermal nevi, which are benign skin growths, have been treated using a range of approaches, with varying results. Topical treatments are ineffective and, while surgical excision is a more definitive treatment, it causes scar formation. In recent decades, epidermal nevi have been treated with various types of laser therapy. We describe our experience with the use of ...

Inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal naevus (ILVEN) is a rare congenital disease characterised by Blaschko-linear erythematous scaly skin. It highly pruritic, disfiguring, and notoriously treatment-resistant. The genetic basis heterogeneous: causes so far established are single case of GJA1- two CARD14- mosaicism. However, clinical overlap with the skin lesions CHILD syndrome led us to hypot...
