Description
Summary:Inflamatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus (ILVEN), present as itchy, linear, erythematous, verrucous papules that develop at birth or during adolescence. ILVEN is a rare variant of verrucous epidermal nevus characterized by recurrent inflammatory events with chronic eczematous or psoriasiform aspect. It is very rare during adulthood. Diagnose made by clinical and histological examination. Differential diagnosis should be made with various dermatoses such as other epidermal nevi, linear psoriasis and lichen striatus. It is resistant to treatment. We found it appropriate to present a congenital onset of a 22 year old patient as a rare disease in routine.
