| Abstract |
|
Inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus(ILVEN) is a relatively rare skin disorder,
characterized by chronic inflammatory psoriasiform pattern. This chronic skin disorder is
generally believed to be resistant to various treatments, although some authors have reported
success with 13-cis-retinoic acid and 585 nm pulsed laser therapy.
We experienced a 15-month aged female ILVEN patient who has been suffered from linear
erythematous verrucous pathes mainly located on left inguinal area, hand, and foot with
persistent itching sense. This skin lesion have been developed at birth, and more spread out
toward right extremity after 1 year old age. We initially treated this skin lesion with topical
corticosteroids and oral anti-histamines, but this treatment was not successful. So we retreated
this patient with etretinate(oral retinoid) and topical 13-cis-retinoic acids, we found that
therapeutic responses to these applications were more remarkable.
Now, we closely observe this patient's clinical course further more. |
