“…However, systematization of lesions, usually in bands, as well as occasional zosteriform distribution have been described. Histologically, acanthosis of the epidermis has been reported in some cases [13]. The increase in the number of blood vessels which we found has been noted to be quite prominent in a case reported by Staricco and M eh rega n [12].…”

“…Although all previously reported cases have demonstrated some degree of elastic tissue abnormality, the diagnosis based on pattern of distribution of the lesions and absence of diagnostic criteria for other types of connective tissue nevi (Table 1). [10][11][12] This method of classification seems to be more pertinent to clinical experience. It makes the point clearly that the term zosteriform nevus refers to a clinical pattern of distribution of the lesion, rather than a separate hisotopathological type of connective tissue nevus.…”

Zosteriform connective tissue nevus is a rare form of connective tissue hamartomas, which arises from cells of mesodermal origin. Despite similar clinical appearance of many connective tissue nevi, they can be differentiated histochemically and/or biochemically on the basis of the primary connective tissue element present. There are only 3 reported cases of zosteriform connective tissue nevi in the worldwide literature. We report a case occurring in a 25-year-old male with approximately 40 nodules and smaller papules distributed in a zosteriform fashion on the right lower lumbar region and upper gluteal region. The identification of the lesion by deep biopsy excluded the important differential diagnosis of segmental neurofibromatosis.

“…In 1944, Steiner 6 described a 5‐year‐old white girl presenting a nevus with zosteriform distribution located on the right side of the lower chest and back. Steiner believed that his case was unique because it included abnormalities in both collagen and elastic tissue.…”
