Abstract
Verrucous epidermal nevus (VEN) is a common type of keratinocyte hamartoma present at birth or occurring later in life. It is seen at any site, but is less common on the head and neck, rarely seen on the face and very rarely involves the oral mucosa. Widespread multiple epidermal nevi may reflect genetic or chromosomal mosaicism. Blaschko has documented characteristic linear, zosteriform, unilateral or systematized patterns with streaks and swirls. They are resistant to treatment with risk of recurrence. A case of male child is presented here with extensive VEN with involvement of ear lobe and scalp of left side with cicatricial alopecia. Patient had delayed milestone development without any systemic involvement.
