“…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.

Giant cerebriform nevus cell nevus of the scalp is an extremely rare form of congenital melanocytic nevus. Giant cerebriform nevus of the scalp has a major psychosocial impact because of its unsightly appearance with fetid maceration. We report the case of a 35-year-old woman who had a painless, malodorous swelling of the cerebriform scalp measuring 20 × 17 cm in diameter with a wide base of insertion at the occipital level adhering to the deep planes. The excision associated with a skin plasty was carried out. Histology concluded that there was a giant cerebriform naevo-cellular nevus of the scalp.

Background: The quality of life of patients with Cutis Verticis Gyrata (CVG) has not been previously investigated in the literature. Objective: Description of features and evaluation of quality of life of CVG patients. Materials and methods: We employed a mixed methods study. We retrospectively collected data from the clinical database from 2012 to 2020. We selected 17 clinically diagnosed CVG patients and prospectively evaluated the quality of life of these CVG patients. Results: Out of 13 patients, 11 patients were in between the 14-47 age group. The majority of them were male (77%), Caucasian (54%), had no significant family history (92.3%), and had the age of onset below < 30 years (69.2%). The majority of the patients had a secondary form of CVG (54%) followed by a primary essential form of CVG (46.1%). The CVG had a small effect on the majority of patient's quality of life (77%), and a majority of patients were not taking any treatment (69.2%) Conclusion: In our study, the CVG was shown to have a small effect on the patient's quality of life.
