“…We would however like to assert that the patient described by us had an epidermolytic acanthoma of the vulva, a well-described entity, [3][4][5] in a linear pattern rather than an adult-onset verrucous epidermal nevus, as suggested, for the following reasons: a. The articles cited [6][7][8] in the letter refer to adultonset verrucous and inflammatory epidermal nevi and not to epidermolytic verrucous epidermal nevus.…”

“…[9,10] c. The onset in adulthood, the clinical features, site of occurrence and histologic features of the lesion seen in our patient were consistent with the diagnosis of epidermolytic acanthoma. [3][4][5] The linear pattern of presentation was unusual and hence the case was reported in the journal.…”

“…[2] Two other reports have been published since then. [3,4] Taken together, the clinical and histopathological features appear to be a better fit for the diagnosis of adult-onset verrucous epidermal nevus of the epidermolytic hyperkeratotic type than for linear epidermolytic acanthoma.…”

Sir, Thomas et al. reported a 50-year-old woman who had unilateral, linearly arranged verrucous papules and plaques on the labia majora and on the adjacent perineum and thigh. Biopsy revealed features of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis. A diagnosis of linear epidermolytic acanthoma was made. [1] Several features of the case closely match the findings of verrucous epidermal nevus of the epidermolytic hyperkeratotic type: unilaterality, linear/Blashckoid arrangement of papules and the variable degree of verrucosity in the papules and plaques as seen in the clinical image. On the other hand, as indicated by the authors, epidermolytic acanthomas are usually solitary lesions and, even when multiple, do not have a unilateral, Blaschkoid distribution. Thomas et al. excluded the diagnosis of verrucous epidermal nevus because of onset of lesions in adulthood and gradual progression over the next several years. However, there are reports of adult-onset epidermal nevus in the literature. Adams and Mutasim described a woman who developed a progressive epidermal nevus on the face at the age of 55 years. They also reviewed five other publications reporting epidermal nevi that began in adulthood. [2] Two other reports have been published since then. [3,4] Taken together, the clinical and histopathological features appear to be a better fit for the diagnosis of adult-onset verrucous epidermal nevus of the epidermolytic hyperkeratotic type than for linear epidermolytic acanthoma.

Özet AbstractInflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus (ILVEN) is a rare disease, occurring mostly at birth and adolescence, presents as erythematous and verrucous papules, which are pruritic and arranged in a linear array. Adult onset of the condition is very rare. ILVEN is a treatment-resistant disease. The lesions of the patient were presented at the age of 30 years and they were clinically and histopathologically consistent with ILVEN disease. Patient was treated with topical agents successfully. We presented the case since adult onset of ILVEN was seen rarely.

“…Frequently, the epidermis is acanthotic and, so, described as psoriasiform. Inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal naevi usually present in infancy, 6 are occasionally present at birth and rarely arise in adulthood 7 . Characteristically, they are intensely pruritic, usually involve the lower limb and/or the buttock and are recalcitrant to treatment 2 .…”

Twenty-three patients diagnosed with inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal naevi (ILVEN) over a 13 year period are reviewed retrospectively. These ILVEN showed a predilection for the buttock and legs and were usually unilateral. Onset of the lesions was usually within the first 6 months of life and extension beyond the original margins occurred in 26% of cases. Sixteen of the 23 patients were male. Ten patients had ILVEN predominantly involving the left side, 12 were on the right side and, in one case, the side involved was not recorded.
