Becker’s nevus is a cutaneous hamartoma relatively common in peripubertal age. The classical presentation of the Becker’s nevus is characterized by unilateral, hyperpigmented patch with varying degrees of hypertrichosis on upper trunk or proximal upper extremities. The occurrence of multiple Becker’s nevi with extensive involvement is relatively rare. Also, the systematized Becker’s nevus is usually associated with other cutaneous and extra-cutaneous features like breast hypoplasia, leg lipodystrophy, etc. But, we herein report a peculiar case of systematized Becker’s nevus without systemic features.
