Abstract
SummaryThe clinical and histopathological features of epidermal naevi from 75 patients were reviewed. In approximately two‐thirds of the patients, these lesions were not present at birth. Five classical clinical varieties and ten histopathological patterns were observed. It was only possible to determine the types of histopathological patterns by the examination of the clinical features alone in the cases of linear porokeratosis and linear naevus comedonicus. A further clinical type of inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal naevus was revealed in this study. This consisted of asymptomatic short linear brownish plaques in which the lesions did not resemble the classical itching linear erythematous plaques.
