Linear verrucous epidermal nevus

Linear verrucous epidermal nevus is a skin lesion characterized by a verrucous skin-colored, dirty-gray or brown papule.[2]: 771 [3]: 633  Generally, multiple papules present simultaneously, and coalesce to form a serpiginous plaque.[3]: 633  When this nevus covers a diffuse or extensive portion of the body's surface area, it may be referred to as a systematized epidermal nevus, when it involved only one-half of the body it is called a nevus unius lateris.[2]: 771
