Abstract

A 34-year-old male was referred to our department with asymptomatic band-like lesion consisted of closely set many white verrucous hyperkeratotic papules on the left upper arm, which was noticed when he was five years old. Histopathologically, epidermolytic hyperkeratosis was demonstrated. From electronmicroscopical findings, in the granular layer, tonofilaments aggregated and made large bundles, and keratohyalin granules were significantly large. We diagnosed the present case as epidermal nevus with epidermolytic hyperkeratosis.
