Abstract

Becker's nevus (BN) classically presents as a single, sharply demarcated, unilateral, hyperpigmented, tan colored macule over the shoulder or pectoral area and is more frequent in adolescent males than females. In this study, we present an acquired, non-syndromic atypical BN in a Saudi female.
