Abstract:
One patient is a 6-year old female, who has had intensely pruritic linear papuloplaque.", on the left side of the perineal and perianal areas for three years. The other patient, is a. 23-year old male, who has had iritensely pruritic linear papuloplagues on the left upper extremity. This condition started at 1 month of life. In both cases, microscopie examination of the lesions showed psoriasiform and eczematoid appearance. In the latter case, spongioform pustule and Munro's microabscess were also found. We believe that these cases probably represent instances of the entity that. Altman and Mehregan have called inflammatory linear verrueous epidermal nevus, and unusual clinical feature in our patients was the involvement of the left groin in case 1 and of the left upper extremity in case II, which are somewhat rare sites of involvement.
