Abstract:
Inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus (ILVEN) is an uncommon variant of verrucous epidermal nevus, clinically characterized by erythematous and hyperkeratotic verrucous papules with a typical linear arrangement. Most reported cases present as solitary lesions, but systematized ILVEN is rare. Epidermal nevus syndrome is a congenital disorder in which epidermal nevi are associated with abnormalities in other organ systems. However, ILVEN has been reported rarely in association with such abnormalities, including those of the skeleton. Here we report a rare case of systematized ILVEN presenting with concomitant mandibular hypoplasia.
