“…In 1896, the term 'inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus' was proposed by Unna but this rare linear dermatosis was first described separately by Altman and Mehregan in 1971 [1]. Usually, it presents as markedly pruritic, variably erythematous, scaly, coalescing papules and plaques along the Blaschko's lines typically involving the single lower limb and persists for many years of life [1,2].…”

“…To differentiate from other pathogenetically and clinically related nevoid linear inflammatory dermatoses, following distinct diagnostic clinical criteria have been have been given by Altman and Mehregan in 1971 [1] which were later modified in 1985. Further histopathological criteria were also proposed by Dupre and Christol in 1977 to increase the diagnostic accuracy [6].…”

“…Inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus (ILVEN) is clinically characterized by linear, erythematous and intensely pruritic scaly psoriasiform papules coalescing to form plaques following the Blaschko's lines usually involving the lower limb unilaterally [1]. ILVEN usually has early life onset and characteristically the lesions are persistent and resistant to treatment.…”

Inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus is a rare variant of nevoid linear inflammatory dermatoses which appear most often in first six months of life and persists for many years or even whole life. Clinically it often shares many features with linear psoriasis, linear porokeratosis and other linear dermatoses which can usually be differentiated by an established set of clinical and histopathological criteria. Herein we are reporting an interesting and rare case fulfilling all the clinical and histopathological criteria of inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus in a 13 year old boy which uniquely revealed cornoid lamella on histopathology so we termed it as "porokeratotic variant of inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus". To the best of our knowledge, only two such cases were reported previously in the literature and none from our country.

“…4 1985 yılında ise Morag ve Metzker İLVEN kriterlerini modifiye etmiştir. 5 Bu kriterler içerisinde; erken yaşta başlangıç, 4:1 kadın predominansı, sıklıkla sol alt ekstremiteyi etkilemesi, kaşıntı, belirgin inflamatuar lineer görü-nümün olması, Blaschko çizgilerini takip etmesi ve tedaviye direnç gösteren inatçı lezyonlar yer almıştır.…”
