To report a rare case of coexistence of nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) and verrucous epidermal nevus (VEN) in a single patient, highlighting its rarity.
Key Findings:
The patient was diagnosed with both NLCS and VEN based on clinical and histopathological findings.
The lesions were arranged in a band-like distribution and did not cross the midline.
This case suggests a possible common developmental origin for NLCS and VEN, indicating the need for further research.
Interpretation:
The coexistence of NLCS and VEN may indicate a shared embryonic developmental pathway, underscoring the importance of comprehensive evaluation of similar skin lesions.
Limitations:
The rarity of the case limits generalizability.
Further studies are needed to explore the embryological connections between these hamartomas.
Conclusion:
This case underscores the importance of considering combined hamartomas in patients with linear or zosteriform skin lesions and the necessity for multiple-site biopsies to avoid underdiagnosis.
