Epidermal nevus syndrome, also known as Feuerstein and Mims syndrome, and Solomon's syndrome is a rare disease that was first described in 1968 and consists of extensive epidermal nevi with abnormalities of the central nervous system (CNS), skeleton, skin, cardiovascular system, genitourinary system and eyes. However, since the syndrome's first description, a broader concept for the "epidermal nevus" syndrome has been proposed, with at least six types being described:

• Schimmelpenning syndrome
• Nevus comedonicus syndrome
• Pigmented hairy epidermal nevus syndrome
• Proteus syndrome
• CHILD syndrome
• Phakomatosis pigmentokeratotica
