Becker's naevus shows itself as a pigmented area of skin which is aquired , persistant and asymmetrical and sometimes shows evidence of increased androgen sensitivity. Colocalization with other developmental anomalies is reported rarely. We report a 20 year old woman who developed an extensive and bilateral Becker naevus since the age of 12 year and had left breast hypoplasia, too.
