Abstract

Acantholytic dyskeratosis is a regular histologic feature in Darier's disease, transient acantholytic dermatosis and warty dyskeratoma. It is also occasionally observed as an incidental histological finding in linear epidermal nevus. We report a case of acantholytic dyskeratotic epidermal nevus in an 11-month-old boy. The patient showed unilateral, brown colored verrucous plaque on the right shin. Histological finding showed hyperkeratosis, irregular acanthosis & focal acantholytic dyskeratosis.
