Nevus of Ota or congenital oculodermal melanosis (ODM) is characterized by brown or blue/gray asymptomatic brown or blue/gray flat lesions of the skin, mucosae, episcleral/sclera, and uvea, which are located near the trigeminal nerve's ophthalmic and mandibular branches. The main ophthalmic complications are glaucoma and predisposition to uveal melanoma. "trichilemmal cyst" is also known as "wen" "pilar cyst" or " isthmus catagen cyst". It occurs in the scalp and mimics sebaceous cysts clinically. The swelling appears smooth in outline and is filled with cytokeratin. An unusual case of a 32-year-old male with both trichilemmal cyst and nevus of Ota, a 27-year-old female, and a 47-year-old male with nevus of Ota is discussed here.

Pigmented purpuric dermatoses (PPDs) are chronic benign dermatoses characterized by petechiae, purpura, and increased skin pigmentation. The hallmark of pigmented purpuric dermatoses is their orange-brown, speckled, cayenne pepper-like discoloration. It occurs, most commonly on on the lower extremities and may be asymptomatic or pruritic. The aim in this short communication is to shed some lights on the eponyms in dermatology linked to PPDs.
