High-Yield Explanation
Verrucous epidermal nevus is also known as linear verrucous epidermal nevus or linear epidermal nevus. They are characterized by localized or diffuse, closely set, skin-colored, brown, or gray-brown verrucous papules, which may coalesce to form well-demarcated papillomatous plaques. Extensive distribution of a verrucous epidermal nevus is termed systemized epidermal nevus. Epidermal nevi may present in conjunction with other epidermal lesions such as cafe-au-lait macules, congenital hypopigmented macules, and congenital nevocellular nevi. Complete excision of an epidermal nevus to the level of the deep dermis is necessary to prevent recurrences. Ref: Thomas V.D., Snavely N.R., Lee K.K., Swanson N.A. (2012). Chapter 118.
