Abstract EN

Verrucous epidermal nevi (VEN) are benign congenital hamartomas consisting of keratinocytes.

Histological examination mostly exhibits hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, papillomatosis and, rarely, the features of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK).

We report a case of a 6-year-old boy who presented at Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan with bilaterally symmetrical linear epidermal nevi following Blaschko’s lines and showing epidermolytic hyperkeratosis on histology.

The patient was treated with topical keratolytics and emolients which led to considerable improvement.

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of VEN from Pakistan.
