“…[1] Complex ocular choristomas (epibulbar tumors), characterized by the presence of two or more ectopic tissues, have been described occasionally in association with sebaceous ENS. [2] Unilateral arachnoid cyst, scleral osteoma, intracranial calcification, and calvarial deformity have been rarely described previously in association with sebaceous nevus syndrome.…”

“…In addition, the occurrence of sclera osteoma in association with ENS is sparingly described. [1,2,5] Unilateral arachnoid cyst in the middle cranial fossa has been reported infrequently in ENSs. [6][7][8] Of these three cases, one has been reported in association with phacomatosis pigmentokeratotica while the remaining two with sebaceous nevi.…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, there are only five reports of bilateral complex ocular choristoma occurring in association with linear nevus sebaceous syndrome (LNSS). [1][2][3][4] In a meticulous English literature search, the occurrence of choristoma in association with verrucous epidermal nevus could not be found. In addition, the occurrence of sclera osteoma in association with ENS is sparingly described.…”

“…[1] Ocular abnormalities have been described in as many as 50% of the patients with ENS and include choristomas, epibulbar dermoids, and coloboma of the uvea, optic disk, and lids. Choristomas represent congenital overgrowth of normal tissue in an abnormal location.…”

Epidermal nevus syndrome (ENS) is a rare disease, the pathogenesis of which is largely elusive. We, hereby, report an exclusive case of a 20-year-old man with verrucous ENS presented with dark colored papules and plaques along the Blaschko's lines present over the head and neck area along with fleshy growth in both eyes since birth. Limb length discrepancy and kyphoscoliosis were remarkable. Skin biopsy was compatible with verrucous epidermal nevus while the biopsy of the ocular lesion confirmed complex choristoma. MRI brain revealed calcification in the right temporal lobe. Bilateral arachnoid cyst in the middle cranial fossa, scleral osteoma in the posterior part of the right eyeball, and deformed calvarium were evident on CECT skull and orbit. The present illustration emphasizes the importance of a punctilious work up of the case.

“…Linear nevus sebaceous syndrome (LNSS) is characterized by nevus sebaceous, mental retardation, seizures and ocular abnormalities (Wilkes et al 1981). Epibulbar choristomas are common (Mansour et al 1986; Lambert et al 1987), while posterior scleral choristomas are very rare. We report the clinical and histopathological findings of a patient with LNSS.…”

Nevus Sebaceus Associated With Major Ophthalmologic Abnormalities

et al. 1987

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Nevus sebaceus rarely occurs as part of a syndrome consisting of central nervous system and ophthalmologic abnormalities. We describe a case of nevus sebaceus associated with an epibulbar complex choristoma and colobomas of the optic disc and peripapillary choroid, and review the dermatologic, ophthalmologic, and neurologic literature on the nevus sebaceus syndrome. When associated with other developmental abnormalities, nevus sebaceus and epidermal nevus have erroneously been considered to be a single entity. In this article, we delineate and emphasize the ophthalmologic abnormalities associated with the nevus sebaceus syndrome.
