Figure

  • Fig. 1 Eczematous lesion coexisting with Becker's nevus.

  • Fig. 2 (A) H&E staining showed epidermal acanthosis with parakeratosis and superficial perivascular lymphohistiocytic infiltration in the upper dermis, consistent with chronic eczema (Original magnification ×50). (B) Hyperpigmentation of the basal layer and numerous melanophages in the upper dermis, consistent with Becker's nevus (Fontana-Masson, original magnification ×100). (C) NKI/beteb staining showed hyperactivated dendritic melanocytes in the epidermis (Original magnification ×200).
