Epidermal nevus and rhabdomyosarcoma

Abstract: A child with an epidermal nevus was diagnosed at the age of 15 months as having an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder. This child also had pigmentary abnormalities characteristic of the epidermal nevus syndrome. The question is again asked whether patients with epidermal nevi have an increased incidence of tumors. It is suggested that the thorough evaluation of these patients as recommended by Solomon should also include an alertness for the development of earlier-than-anticipated neoplasms.

“…One of our patients with keratinocytic nevus and systemic involvement developed a paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma ipsilateral to the nevus. Dimond and Amon (29) reported a patient with epidermal nevus on the neck and trunk following Blaschko lines, in addition to a rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder. This patient also had café au lait macules with pigmentary nevi on their surfaces.…”

“…Various extracutaneous malignancies have been reported in patients with EN, including astrocytoma, glioma, Wilms’ tumor, nephroblastoma, salivary gland carcinoma, bladder carcinoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and gastrointestinal carcinomas . Although many EN have mutations in genes associated with tumor formation and suppression, the specific mutations found in EN are often different from those found in tumors.…”
