\An anatomical structure that consists of the maximal set of organ parts so connected to one another that together they constitute a self-contained unit of macroscopic anatomy, distinct both morphologically and functionally from other such units. Together with other organs, an organ constitutes an organ system or a body part. An organ is divisible into organ parts but not organs (examples: femur, biceps, liver, heart, aorta, sciatic nerve, ovary).\Skin structure

A rare skin disease characterized by a hamartomatous epidermal lesion presenting as a linear array of verrucous, hyperkeratotic papules that often coalesce into plaques and are formed along the lines of Blaschko. The condition is associated with involvement of other organ systems, mainly brain, eye, and skeletal system. It is the result of mosaic post-zygotic mutations and most commonly presents at birth, but may occur anytime during childhood, rarely also in adulthood.
