“…Ito (3), in reporting his original case, did not describe any extracutaneous abnormality, apart from asymmetry of breast size, and considered incontinentia pigmenti achromians as a systematized, bilateral, depigmented nevus. Many authors have supported this view (19,24). In particular, Orlow (25) suggested that HI be considered a continuum of phenotypes, ranging from a pigmentary abnormality only to a pigmentary abnormality plus multiple associated anomalies, employing the term HI without or with systemic involvement.…”

“…Differential diagnosis of HI cutaneous lesions usually includes nevus depigmentosus, also known as achromic or hypochromic nevus. In fact, depigmenled iesions of HI are currently still considered by some authors as depigmented nevi (12). It is not known if the depigmented lesions in syndromes such as tuberous sclerosis, Waardenburg syndrome, ataxia telangiectasia, neurofibromatosis, and a number of other conditions (13) are identical.…”

“…Two of our patients had generalized NDP. Some authors believe that incontinentia pigmenti achromians is a variant of generalized NDP (8,9). Others, however, believe that they are two different entities (2).…”
