Summary The development of a squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in a linear epidermal naevus is a rare event previously reported in long‐standing and often extensive lesions of middle‐aged to elderly patients. To the best of our knowledge, this case appears to be only the second report of an SCC arising in a linear epidermal naevus in a young patient and the first report of two SCCs developing in a small epidermal naevus, over a short time, in a young patient with no other risk factors.
