Becker's nevus and breast hypoplasia: report of a case
Authors
Abstract:
Becker's nevus is a unilateral hyperpigmented area of skin with geographical borders. It is usually located on shoulders, anterior chest, scapular region and upper arms. Sometimes it shows evidence of androgen hypersensitivity and co-localizing with other developmental anomalies. We report a 12-year-old girl with clinical and histopathological findings compatible with Becker's nevus on her left chest accompanied with ipsilateral breast hypoplasia.

Becker's naevus and breast hypoplasia: A case report
Becker's naevus is an acquired persistent asymmetrical area of skin pigmentation, sometimes showing evidence of increased androgen sensitivity, and colocalizing with other developmental anomalies. We report a 30-year-old woman with clinical findings compatible with Becker's naevus on her right breast accompanied with hypoplasia of ipsilateral breast.

Specific cutaneous associations in patients with Becker's nevus have been reported. We present a patient with typical clinical and histopathological features clearly consistent with Becker's nevus associated with ipsilateral breast hypoplasia. The changes were distinct and could be separated from smooth muscle hamartoma. We include clinical and histological illustrations of our case.

Several skin conditions have been reported to occur on epidermal nevi, but it seems that co-occurrence of a vascular lesion and an epidermal nevus is a very rare phenomenon. Herein, a 17- year- old female patient who had presented with skin lesions on her thigh since 4 years ago has been reported. The lesions were two oval plaques consisted of multiple brown- tinted, hyperkereratotic papu...

202 On investigation, routine blood, urine examination and biochemical parameters were normal. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was 50 mm at first hour. Blood VDRL test was reactive (1:64). Cerebro spinal fluid VDRL test was non-reactive. CD4 cell count was 271 cells/mm3. Other investigations were normal. Skin biopsy and histopathology revealed endarteritis obliterans and few granulomas. Be...
full textMultidermatomal nevus comedonicus: A case report
Nevus comedonicus is an uncommon variant of adnexal hamartoma and is considered a rare subtype of epidermal nevi. It was first described in 1895 by Kofmann who used the term “comedo-nevus”. It manifests as a group of closely dilated follicular openings with dark keratin plugs resembling comedones. Both unilateral and bilateral distributions are seen. The face is the most commonly affected site ...
