摘要

Verrucous epidermal naevus(VEN)is a rare form of epidermal naevus.We present a case of VEN occurring over the perianal region of a 7-year-old boy.The lesion was initially thought to be an area of chronic dermatitis;however it was refractory to treatment.Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of VEN.VEN in the inguinogenital region may be misdiagnosed as flexural psoriasis,genital warts or sexual abuse.This is what precisely happened to our patient for a duration of more than 1 year.
