Inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus: report of seven new cases and review of the literature.

In seven patients with inflammatory linear verrucous epithelial nevus (ILVEN) examined, the condition demonstrated the typical clinical and histologic picture. Based on this experience, we suggest revised criteria for the disease. Dermatologists and pediatricians aware of ILVEN can easily differentiate it from similar lesions and thus be able to suggest effective therapy.
