“…Case reports of cerebriform intradermal nevi often involve anatomic areas favored by blue nevi. 1,2,8,12,13,17 Another overlapping feature is ethnic group prevalence. Asians have an increased incidence of dendritic melanocytoses, such as nevus of Ito/Ota/Mongolian spots and congenital blue nevi are considered a form of dendritic melanocytosis.…”

Objectives: Cerebriform intradermal nevus and giant congenital blue nevi are rarely reported melanocytic nevi with clinical and histopathologic similarities. Both are known to produce cutis verticis gyrata. We report a significantly large occipital scalp congenital blue nevus with secondary cutis verticis gyrata. The aim of this report is to increase clinical awareness of this entity, highlight histopathologic and mutational features of cerebriform intradermal nevi and giant congenital blue nevi, and stress the importance of clinicopathologic correlation for diagnosis. Methods: Case report and review of the literature. Results: A 20-year-old Asian male presented with a long-standing, large (20 cm × 30 cm), exophytic tumor at the occipital scalp and posterior neck. The skin overlying the lesion was arranged in thick folds resembling the surface of the brain, devoid of hair follicles, and discolored by salt-and-pepper pattern hyperpigmentation. After correlating the clinical and histopathologic findings, we diagnosed giant congenital blue nevus with secondary cutis verticis gyrata. Staged surgical excision was performed with subsequent treatment for hypertrophic scarring and occipital alopecia. Conclusions: Cerebriform intradermal nevus and giant congenital blue nevus have overlapping histologic and clinical features. Head and neck surgeons should be aware that nomenclature of these tumors is subjective and often imprecise. Diagnosis requires correlation of clinical findings, patient history, and histopathology. Surgical excision is advised due to rare malignant transformation potential.

We report a 44‐year‐old male with cutis verticis gyrate (CVG)‐mental retardation syndrome. His backhead skin formed several folds, which were diagnosed as CVG. Neurological examinations revealed bilateral marked visual acuity loss, deaf‐mutism, mild mental retardation, bilateral Babinski's sign, severe spastic paraplegia, and cerebellar ataxia. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed atrophy of the cerebellum and the corpus callosum. The fundus showed bilateral optic nerve atrophy. The clinical features had the primary non‐essential form in the CVG classification. Our patient was important because of the low frequency of this form in mental retardation.
