Abstract:
We report a case of hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola occuing in 33 year old woman. She did not have a history of endocriruipathy, horrnonal therapy and other ceatoses, so this case seems to be the nevoid form by Levy-Franckel classification. Interestingly, however the lesion which had developed before marriage suddenly aggr avated during pregnancy. This may be a unique feature which has not been reported elsewhere. Histapathologic findings are compatible with breviously reported eases. There was no response to topical steroid and retinoic acid treatrnent.
