Epidermal naevus with Darier's disease-like changes in a patient with Gardner's syndrome.
We describe the unique presentation of a linear epidermal nevus with histologic features of Darier's disease occurring in a patient with Gardner's syndrome. Classification of localized forms of Darier's disease as an epidermal nevus or as a genetic mosaicism remains controversial. The association of this disorder with Gardner's syndrome has not been described in the literature before.
