[Combined use of the dermatome and high-speed fraise in the treatment of a generalized verrucous nevus (Jadassohn)].

Since her birth, a 24-year-old woman had suffered from an extensive epidermal verrucous nevus on her left trunk. Because of its severe disfigurement and resulting negative psychosocial impact, the nevus was first removed in 1980 by means of a high-speed fraise; the cosmetic results, however, were not altogether satisfactory. Excision was attempted again in 1983 using both dermatome and high-speed fraise; this time, the cosmetic outcome was excellent.
