Epidermic hamartoma

Epidermal hyperplasia that develops on a limited part of the body: flesh-colored or gray-brownish papulo-warty elevations disposedin linear strips. The hyperplasia is generally present from birth. It seems to be due to mosaism of mutation of various genes.

Very close to the Jadassohn and Solomon syndromes.
