An 18‐year‐old man presented with a progressively enlarging, asymptomatic, well‐demarcated, irregular, hyperpigmented patch, 13 cm × 11 cm, on the anterior aspect of the chest below the left clavicular region, with a few small macules at the periphery, of 2 years duration. After 18 months, multiple, discrete, erythematous papules and comedones developed over the patch (Fig. 1). A few melanocytic nevi were present in and around the patch. A clinical diagnosis of Becker's nevus with acne vulgaris was made. A skin biopsy from the patch showed acanthosis, elongated rete ridges, increased pigmentation in the basal layer, and a mild perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate in the upper and lower dermis with few melanophages in the dermis. Histopathology of the comedone revealed slight acanthosis, irregular elongation of the rete ridges, and hyperpigmentation of the basal layer of the epidermis. Multiple melanophages were seen in the upper dermis. In the mid‐dermis, a ruptured closed comedone was seen. The follicular lumen contained a plug of loosely arranged keratinized cells, sebaceous material, and bacterial colonies. Aggregates of neutrophils were found at the site of rupture of the follicular wall. There was a mild perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate in the upper and lower dermis (Fig. 2). These features confirmed the diagnosis of Becker's nevus with acne vulgaris. The acne was treated with 0.05% tretinoin and 2% erythromycin creams. After 2 months of treatment, all the acne lesions subsided. On further follow‐up, the patient had relapse of the acne lesions over the patch with the discontinuation of treatment. A few new lesions also appeared on the face. The treatment was restarted, but the patient was lost to follow‐up. 1 Multiple, discrete, erythematous papules and comedones over Becker's nevus with a few melanocytic nevi in and around the lesion 2 Slight acanthosis, irregular elongation of the rete ridges, and hyperpigmentation of the basal layer of the epidermis, multiple melanophages in the upper dermis, and a ruptured closed comedone in the mid‐dermis (hematoxylin and eosin, × 40)

“…Becker nevus associated with these developmental defects has been described as Becker nevus syndrome, a term proposed by Happle and Koopman (4). A number of cutaneous associations, including intradermal and connective tissue nevi, malignant melanoma, perforating folliculitis, leiomyoma, lymphangioma, acne/acneiform eruptions, and lichen planus have been described in association with this entity (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14).…”

“…Few occurrences of congenital Becker nevus have been reported (1–3). A number of cutaneous, soft tissue, and bone abnormalities have been associated with this lesion (4–13). We report a rare instance of congenital Becker nevus with lichen planus, an association which, to the best of our knowledge, has only been reported once before, by Terheyden et al (14) in 1998.…”

Becker naevus syndrome is a rare epidermal naevus syndrome defined by the co-occurrence of a Becker naevus with various cutaneous, muscular and skeletal anomalies. In the majority of cases, abnormalities exclusively consist of ipsilateral hypoplasia of the breast, areola and/or nipple in addition to the naevus. Here, we report on a 42-year-old woman with an extensive Becker naevus reaching from the left buttock to the left calf verified on histological examination. In addition, there was marked hypoplasia of the fatty tissue of the left thigh confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging in contrast to hyperplasia of the fatty tissue of the left gluteal area. Underlying muscles and bones were not affected. There was no difference in leg lengths. In addition, we review and discuss the features of Becker naevus syndrome with emphasis on 10 reported cases with involvement of the lower body.
