Becker’s nevus, an epidermal nevus, may occur alone or may be associated with musculoskeletal anomalies. There are reports of certain inflammatory and neoplastic diseases showing a predilection for Becker’s nevus. We report a patient who manifested lesions of lichen planus. Interestingly, the lesions showed a predilection for a cutaneous area that harbored a Becker’s nevus. We reviewed similar cases where a Becker’s nevus was reported as a site of predilection for other dermatoses and suggest that the possibility of the former acting as an immunocompromised district of Ruocco (an area that shows less resistance to a disease process in comparison to other body areas) may be considered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
