Abstract

Cerebriform intradermal melanocytic nevus is a cause of cutis veticis gyrata, a morphologic term which describes the hypertrophy and folding of the skin, typically occurring on the scslp, to present a gyrate or cerebriform appearance. We report a 37-year-old woman with a 17 x 22cm soft, convoluted mass over most of the occipital, parietal, and temporal scalp. At birth, she had a small brownish macide on the occipital scalp that enlarged to form this extensive lesion. Histologically, nests of nevus cells were shown in the upper and the mid dermis.
