“… 1 , 4 , 7 Although considered benign, there are rare reports of tumors occurring within BN, including basal cell carcinoma and desmoid tumor. 8 , 9 BN treatment is optional and dictated by symptoms or cosmetic concerns. A combination of lasers with different wavelengths appears to provide the best results.…”

“…The nature of Becker melanosis is benign; however, three reports have revealed that it might be associated with keratinocyte carcinomas such as basal cell carcinoma and Bowen disease. All of three cases developed cancerous lesions over the area of Becker nevus, which was a sun-protected and atypical site in a low-risk patient [9, 10]. Though it might be coincidental, awareness should be raised about long-term malignancy development in Becker nevus.…”

Becker nevus syndrome refers to a rare disorder comprising the typical pigmented lesion and its associated developmental abnormalities. Becker nevus itself is typically localized on the upper trunk, scapular or upper arm unilaterally; however, it can occasionally occur as multiple or bilateral lesions on any parts of the body. In this report, a rare case of multiple Becker nevi arranged in a unique checkerboard-like pattern is presented. More uniquely, the associated abnormalities found in this patient, breast hypoplasia and leg lipodystrophy, seem to be regionally correlated with the nevi. In closing, we would like to raise an easy-to-remember 6B’s mnemonic, which stands for Becker, Breast, Bone, Bowen’s disease, Basal cell carcinoma, and Beta-actin, for the cases of Becker nevus syndrome.

“…Although Becker's nevus is commonly manifested by ipsilateral lesion, subjects with bilateral lesions have also been documented 5,9 . Pigmented patch with or without hypertrichosis is the main clinical manifestation of Becker's nevus, 10 while it can also be associated with other disorders such as eczema, basal cell carcinoma, and neurofibroma 11‐14 . Though Becker's nevus alone is asymptomatic, cosmetic concerns are bothersome.…”

Background Becker's nevus is a common skin disorder. Lasers and light instruments are the major modalities for the treatment of Becker's nevus, but the outcomes were mixed. Objective To evaluate the efficacy of the intense pulsed light for Becker's nevus in a large Chinese cohort. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the efficacy of the intense pulsed light for Becker's nevus in a single center. Results A total of 45 patients, including 26 males and 19 females (male to female ratio = 1.4), aged 5‐42 years, were included in this analysis. Twenty‐seven patients (60%) were with hypertrichosis. Treatments with intense pulsed light resulted in over 75% improvements in pigmentation and hair density in 1 and 2 cases, respectively. One patient displayed 51%‐75% reductions in hair density. The rest displayed ≤50% improvements in pigmentation and hair density. Recurrence occurred in all cases within 6 months after the last treatment. Adverse reactions were temporary and mild hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation, hypertrophic scar, pain, and erythema. Conclusion Intense pulsed light does not exhibit long‐term benefits for Becker's nevus. Further studies in the large cohort are still required to validate the present results. Moreover, whether changes in the treatment parameters can improve the efficacy of intense pulsed light remains to be explored.
