    A congenital linear epidermal nevus in a 12-year-old boy was associated with significant skeletal and vascular abnormalities, including leg length discrepancy and spinal angiomas.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Orthopedic Surgery

    Background:

    • Epidermal nevi are congenital skin conditions that can sometimes be associated with underlying systemic abnormalities.
    • Linear epidermal nevus presents as a birthmark following the lines of Blaschko, often along the midline or extremities.
    • This case highlights a rare presentation with extensive cutaneous and systemic involvement.

    Observation:

    • A 12-year-old male presented with a midline linear epidermal nevus extending from the umbilicus to the foot.
    • The nevus involved the right leg, with associated bone structure changes noted on X-ray.
    • The left lower extremity showed hyperplasia, and both feet exhibited characteristics of a "Friedreich-foot".

    Findings:

    • Vascular dysplasia, including arteriovenous shunts, was identified in the left iliac artery vascular bed via angiography.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Spinal angiomas were also detected in the same vascular distribution.
  • Significant leg length discrepancy was attributed to the hyperplasia of the left lower extremity.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of a comprehensive evaluation for systemic involvement in patients with extensive epidermal nevi.
    • Early detection of associated vascular and skeletal anomalies is crucial for timely intervention and management.
    • Understanding these complex associations can improve diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for similar rare presentations.
