Zosteriform connective tissue nevus is a rare mesodermal hamartoma. This report details a unique case in a 25-year-old male, adding to the limited global literature on this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Connective tissue nevi are rare hamartomas originating from mesodermal cells.
  • Zosteriform connective tissue nevus presents a unique clinical challenge due to its rarity and variable presentation.
  • Histochemical and biochemical analyses are crucial for differentiating various connective tissue nevi.

Observation:

  • A case of zosteriform connective tissue nevus in a 25-year-old male is presented.
  • The patient exhibited approximately 40 nodules and papules in a zosteriform pattern on the right lower lumbar and upper gluteal regions.
  • The lesion's appearance mimicked other conditions, necessitating a thorough diagnostic approach.

Findings:

  • Deep biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of zosteriform connective tissue nevus.

  • Histopathological examination differentiated it from other connective tissue hamartomas.
  • The diagnosis excluded segmental neurofibromatosis, a key differential diagnosis.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of zosteriform connective tissue nevi, a rare dermatological condition.
    • Accurate diagnosis through biopsy is vital for appropriate patient management and excluding other pathologies.
    • Further research into the histochemical and biochemical profiles of these nevi may aid in classification and treatment strategies.
