title: Congenital erosive and vesicular dermatosis healing with reticulated supple scarring.
abstract: Congenital erosive and vesicular dermatosis healing with reticulated supple scarring is a rare disorder of unknown etiology first reported in three patients in 1985. Nine patients have subsequently been reported, helping to further characterize this unique dermatosis. We describe another patient and further describe the histologic and electron microscopic findings of this entity. This case is unique in that histologic distinction is made between vesicular and scarred lesions.
