    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pediatric Dermatology
    • Dermatopathology

    Background:

    • Inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus (ILVEN) is a rare congenital nevus characterized by its linear, verrucous, and inflammatory presentation.
    • First described by Altman and Mehregan in 1971, ILVEN presents a diagnostic challenge due to its variable clinical appearance.

    Observation:

    • This report details two pediatric cases of ILVEN in girls aged 4 and 5 years.
    • One patient experienced positive therapeutic outcomes with trichloroacetic acid treatment.

    Findings:

    • The study reviews the clinical and histopathological features of ILVEN.
    • Differential diagnosis is crucial, distinguishing ILVEN from conditions like lichen planus, lichen striatus, linear psoriasis, zoniform dermatitis, and naevus unius lateris.

    Implications:

    • Early and accurate diagnosis of ILVEN is essential for appropriate management.
    • Trichloroacetic acid may represent a viable treatment option for ILVEN, warranting further investigation.
    • Understanding ILVEN's distinct characteristics aids in differentiating it from other linear dermatoses.
