Colocalization of Vitiligo and Verrucous Epidermal Nevus: A Simulator of Depigmented Variant of Verrucous Epidermal Nevus
Authors
Abstract:
Vitiligo, an autoimmune disorder, is known to co-localize with other immunological disorders like lichen planus and psoriasis. However, there are no reports regarding the co-localization of an autoimmune disorder (vitiligo) and a developmental disorder (verrucous epidermal nevus). We hereby present a 10-month-old infant who was visited for white patches on the right buttock and adjoining anterolateral thigh since 2 months of age. Lesions started as flat depigmented patches which gradually became raised. Examination revealed depigmented verrucous plaques along Blaschko’s lines on the right buttock and adjoining thigh with depigmented macules and patches in the periphery. Histopathology revealed features of classical verrucous epidermal nevus in addition to focal interface dermatitis. Immunohistochemistry showed melanocytopenia. Hence, this was a rare case of verrucous epidermal nevus co-localized with a vitiliginous patch, clinically simulating a depigmented variant of verrucous epidermal nevus.

Bilateral inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus
Inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus (ILVEN) is a unilateral skin disorder which usually manifests in infancy or childhood. Female predominance, frequent leg involvement, pruritus, resistance to treatment, and a psoriasiform histologic pattern are other common characteristics of this disease. Atypical presentations of ILVEN have been described and include late onset in life, wide...

Inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus is a rare variant of nevoid linear inflammatory dermatoses which appear most often in first six months of life and persists for many years or even whole life. Clinically it often shares many features with linear psoriasis, linear porokeratosis and other linear dermatoses which can usually be differentiated by an established set of clinical and histo...

Linear epidermal nevi frequently follow the lines of Blaschko and may be confused with the verrucous stage of incontinentia pigmenti. Inflammatory epidermal nevus appears as a line array of pink to red papules usually on the lower limb (Buttock and hip) clinically resembling psoriasis or eczematous dermatitis. But inflammatory epidermal nevus has distinct histopathologic features. We report a c...

Verrucous epidermal nevi are hamartomatous lesions of the epidermis that, unlike other epidermal nevi (such as sebaceous nevus or nevus comedonicus), are rarely associated with malignant neoplasms. The majority of squamous cell carcinoma develop in linear or multiple epidermal nevus and rarely in solitary epidermal nevus. In general, the prognosis is favorable. We report a case of well-differen...

Several skin conditions have been reported to occur on epidermal nevi, but it seems that co-occurrence of a vascular lesion and an epidermal nevus is a very rare phenomenon. Herein, a 17- year- old female patient who had presented with skin lesions on her thigh since 4 years ago has been reported. The lesions were two oval plaques consisted of multiple brown- tinted, hyperkereratotic papu...
