ABSTRACT

Epidermal nevi (NE) are low frequency cutaneous hamartomas originated in pluripotential cells from embryonic ectoderm. This cutaneous disembryoplasias can be congenital or appear during the first years of life. Different variants are recognized according to their morphology, histopathology and topography. The acronym raven (rounded and velvety epidermal nevus) refers to an epidermal hamartoma whose histopathology is similar to acanthosis nigricans. We present the first case in a 14-year-old male from Bolivia and we highlight its main characteristics.
