Systematized keratotic nevus with finger contracture.
A case of systematized keratotic nevus which is a peculiar form of epidermal nevus is reported. The present case is rare because of the dysfunction of incomplete flexion of fingers by systematized keratotic nevus. Furthermore, it involved mixed clinical and histological changes of epidermal nevus from fingers to elbow. An operation with full-thickness skin graft was undertaken.
