Summary

What was studied

A case report of a man in his 40s presenting with multiple verrucous (warty) plaques distributed along Blaschko lines on the left lower limb, present since birth and evolving from erythematous plaques.

Key findings

The clinical presentation — congenital erythematous plaques on one limb gradually becoming verrucous, following Blaschko lines — is characteristic of a specific dermatological diagnosis, posed here as a diagnostic challenge.

Study limitations

Single case report with minimal clinical detail provided in the abstract; no histopathology, treatment outcomes, or follow-up data reported.

Clinical implications

Verrucous or warty plaques following Blaschko lines on a limb, present since birth, should prompt consideration of mosaic/epidermal nevus disorders. Dermatoscopy and skin biopsy are key diagnostic steps.
