Abstract

Numerous specialists may be required to address its extra cutaneous manifestations.Main observations:We report a severe case of epidermal nevus syndrome involving the oral cavity, pharynx, and central nervous system in addition to disfiguring skin lesions.Conclusions:Dermatologists are in a unique position to first render the diagnosis of epidermal nevus syndrome for young patients and ensure appropriate follow-up.
