becker's naevus shows itself as a pigmented area of skin which is aquired , persistant and asymmetrical and sometimes shows evidence of increased androgen sensitivity. colocalization with other developmental anomalies is reported rarely. we report a 20 year old woman who developed an extensive and bilateral becker naevus since the age of 12 year and had left breast hypoplasia, too.

Breast hypoplasia may have a congenital or acquired etiology. One of the acquired reasons is postinfectious scars, which results in skin restriction and breast hypoplasia in the long term. Reconstruction of breast hypoplasia is performed by autologous tissues, implants, or both. In this report we present a hypoplastic breast reconstruction by subcutaneous scar releasing and multiple autologous ...

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.

Hypoplastic breast anomalies remain a reconstructive challenge. In this article, the authors review the spectrum of nonsyndromic breast hypoplasia in the adolescent girl, namely idiopathic breast hypoplasia and tuberous breast deformity. Challenges specific to this population include (1) identifying the ideal timing for surgery, (2) choosing the optimal reconstructive method while taking into c...

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 he...

A 14-year-old girl with iatrogenic breast asymmetry is reported. She had multiple operations to the left anterior chest wall in the neonatal period for diaphragmatic hernia that resulted in multiple scars, which damaged the left breast bud. A better thoracotomy incision avoiding the breast bud could prevent later breast hypoplasia.

Becker nevus syndrome is a phenotype characterized by the fundamental presence of Becker's nevus with ipsilateral hypoplasia of the breast or other skin, skeletal and/or muscular disorders. This syndrome generally originates at birth, intensifies significantly in adolescence and is one of the syndromes that constitute epidermal nevus syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first cas...
