Adult-onset inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus : Immunohistochemical studies and review of the literature

© 2020 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd..

Adult-onset inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus (ILVEN) is an uncommon cutaneous disease compared to childhood-onset ILVEN. The typical histopathologic features are alternating parakeratosis and orthokeratosis with an absent granular layer underneath parakeratosis, in contrast to a thickened granular layer below the foci of orthokeratosis in psoriasiform epidermal hyperplasia. Herein, we present a 49-year-old woman with typical clinical and histopathologic characteristics of adult-onset ILVEN, including linear arrangement of thick scaly papules and plaques localized on the medial side of her right leg, ankle, and foot. Immunohistochemical studies included involucrin, Ki-67, and keratin-10. Compared to the staining pattern in psoriasis, the expression of involucrin in this case was of lower intensity and localized to upper epidermal layers with relatively less extensive staining beneath regions of parakeratosis as compared to orthokeratosis; Ki-67 showed lower basal layer proliferative activity; and keratin-10 showed a greater intensity of staining within suprabasal epidermis.
