A case of multiple, bilateral Becker’s Nevi of the trunk and lower extremities in a young girl: A case report

Abstract

A Becker’s nevus typically appears as a single unilateral, well-demarcated, hyperpigmented patch over the upper trunk during adolescence. It uncommonly presents as multiple and bilateral patches and rarely involves a lower extremity. We describe the unusual case of a child with multiple, bilateral Becker’s nevi of the trunk and lower extremities present since birth.

“…Initially, a unique appearance of multiple occurrences in the case should be reviewed. Because of several case reports with multiple Becker's nevi 3,4 , in the current case, Becker's nevi were considered as a potential differential diagnosis. However, due to the absence of hypertrichosis and the lack of epidermal changes, the present case is reasonably diagnosed as SMH 5 .…”
