A patient with characteristic clinical, histopathological, ullrastruclural and family history of cpidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) developed large acquired nevocytic at the sites of some healing blisters. An isomorphic reaction may have initiated the development of these ncvi. Such large acquired nevi should be considered in the differential diagnosis of large and giant congenital nevi which have the potential to evolve into malignant melanoma.
