AB Epidermal  nevus  (EN)  is  a  benign  hamartomatous  growth.  It  presents  as  a  group  of  verrucous,  closely  grouped,  skin-colored  to  brown  papules  often  in  a  linear  arrangement  following  the  Lines  of  Blaschko  (Fig.  43.1).  It  develops  primarily  in  childhood.  There  are  several  variations  of  EN  including  localized  nevus  unius  lateris,  systematized  EN,  EN  syndrome,  and  inflammatory  verrucous  epidermal  nevus  (ILVEN)  (Fig.  43.2).
