چکیده

The histological features of all of these diseases are distinct from those of PE. There is no consensus whether PE is a unique entity or just a special demonstration of nevus anesticus, eruptive collagenoma and a mild form of Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome [6].

Furthermore, there is no reliable treatment for PE. ■
