Abstract:
We report a case of Becker's nevus associated with ipsilateral breast hypoplasia in a 13-year-old female. Three years esrlier, she noticed a palrn-size hyperpigmented area on her left chest. The lesion showed a well defined geographic border. No hypertrichosis was seen. Hypoplasia was apparent on the left breast. A histopathologic finding showed a slightly hyperpigmented epidermis and some rectangular rete ridges with flat bases.
