[Epidermal nevus syndrome (of Solomon, Fretzin and Dewald)]
Abstract:
Epidermal naevus syndrome is an entity which has been well established by Solomon, Fretzin and Dewald since 1968, presenting cutaneous, visceral, ocular, osseous and neurological malformations. We report a case with multiple osseous manifestations affecting the entire skeleton, but mainly the skull (osteolysis with absence of frontal bone), the vertebral column (scoliosis with triple deviation), the upper right limb (demineralisation and multiple pathological fractures) and lower members (fractures of the right and left femur) with enlargement of the entire ventricular system and well marked scissures, signs of an cortico-subcortical atrophy shown by scanogram.

Cells of the Epidermis
The cells in all these layers except the stratum basale are called keratinocytes, a type of cell that manufactures and stores the protein keratin. The keratinocytes in the stratum corneum are dead and regularly slough away, being replaced by cells from...
Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
