Verrucous Epidermal Nevus – A Brief Review
Abstract
Epidermal nevi are hamartomatous lesions arising from embryonic ectoderm. Verrucous epidermal nevus
(VEN) is a variant of epidermal nevi. It is exclusively derived from keratinocytes. Verrucous epidermal nevus
may be localized to a single small area of involvement or generalized. A few, however, may follow the lines of
Blaschko, reflecting the mosaic nature of the condition. No single treatment modality has been shown to be very
effective. The aim of this review was to show the various clinical forms of this disorder as it manifests on the dark
skinned and review the existing treatment options.
