Abstract
Epidermal nevi are mosaic lesions reflecting an abnormal ectodermal embryonic development of the epidermis or its appendages, with excess or deficiency or structural changes of tissue elements being either present at birth or developing in postnatal life (Boente et al. 2000, Happle and Rogers 2002, Mehregan and Pinkus 1965, Rogers 1992, Solomon and Esterly 1975). The group of epidermal nevus syndromes denotes the association of an epidermal nevus with other cutaneous or extracutaneous anomalies (Boente et al. 2000, Happle 1995) each type being associated with specific additional defects (Happle 1991).
