Genetics Home Reference: An epidermal nevus (plural: nevi) is an abnormal, noncancerous (benign) patch of skin caused by an overgrowth of skin cells. Epidermal nevi are typically seen at birth or develop in early childhood. They can be flat, tan patches of skin or raised, velvety patches. As the affected individual ages, the nevus can become thicker and darker and develop a wart-like (verrucous) appearance. Often, epidermal nevi follow a pattern on the skin known as the lines of Blaschko. The lines of Blaschko, which are invisible on skin, are thought to follow the paths along which cells migrate as the skin develops before birth.17
MalaCards: Epidermal Nevus, also known as linear sebaceous nevus sequence, is related to inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus and epidermolytic hyperkeratosis. An important gene associated with Epidermal Nevus is CD8A (CD8a molecule), and among its related pathways are Primary immunodeficiency and Activation of NF-KappaB by PKR. The compounds tazarotene and isotretinoin have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include skin, and related mouse phenotypes are craniofacial and pigmentation.
