Introduction
Epidermal nevus (EN) is a hamartomatous proliferation of keratinocytes.
It usually appears during the first year of life and gradually increases
in thickness, although some cases of late-onset development have also
been reported ¹. EN is usually an isplated benign lesion, but especially
when it is extensive, it may be associated with other organ and system
abnormalities which is called epidermal nevus syndrome².
Dermoscopy is a non-invasive diagnostic method that can be used readily
to differentiate melanocytic and non-melanocytic lesions. It also helps
in biopsy decision making for a suspected lesion ²´³.
Herein we report an acquired case of EN in a 32-year-old woman with
epidermolytic hyperkeratotic pattern and present a review of the
literature about it.
