%X A 17-year-old male presented for review of a widespread keratinocytic epidermal nevus (KEN) in the setting of a chronic pericardial effusion. Biopsy of the epidermal nevus revealed a KRAS mutation. Pericardiocentesis revealed a chylous effusion and magnetic resonance lymphangiogram demonstrated an underlying lymphatic malformation. There are rare case reports of KEN with an associated KRAS mutation. This case highlights the importance of being alert to epidermal nevus syndrome, particularly in patients with a widespread nevus and seemingly unrelated pathology.
