Abstract

Cutis verticis gyrata is a morphologic term, typically occurring on the scalp, characterized by eleuated, folded convolutions of the scalp, which may be either secondary to local disease in the scalp, or primary(idiopathic) disease. This case report was a 33-year-old woman, teacher. A birth, the patient had a small, round, soft, convoluted mass on the right parietal scalp. The mass slowly enlarged in size with the same rate of body growth. Now, the lesion is 15*13cm in size, well demarcated, oval shaped, soft, convoluted mass with overlying normal skin colored or hyperpigmented macules. Light microscopic findings of the skin kesion showed deeper extension of the nevus cells into the dermis and subcutis, which presented as an intradermal nevus, Electron microscopy showed that the nevus cell had an indented nucleus and numerous mitochondrias and melanosomes in the cytoplasm.
