Becker nevus syndrome, a condition involving hyperpigmented skin lesions, is often linked to ipsilateral breast hypoplasia. This summary details four cases of this syndrome, highlighting associated abnormalities.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Clinical Genetics
  • Pediatric Endocrinology

Background:

  • Becker nevus is a congenital hamartoma characterized by hyperpigmentation, typically on the chest or shoulders.
  • It can present with various associated abnormalities, including muscular, skeletal, and cutaneous conditions.
  • Becker nevus syndrome encompasses Becker nevus with specific associated anomalies, notably unilateral breast hypoplasia.

Observation:

  • The study presents four cases of Becker nevus syndrome.
  • In these cases, Becker nevus was consistently associated with ipsilateral breast hypoplasia.
  • Other abnormalities were less consistently observed alongside the primary phenotype.

Findings:

  • Becker nevus syndrome is characterized by the co-occurrence of Becker nevus and ipsilateral breast hypoplasia.

  • The condition, though often apparent in adolescence, originates from birth as part of epidermal nevus syndromes.
  • The presented cases reinforce the association between Becker nevus and unilateral breast hypoplasia.

    • Implications:

    • Understanding Becker nevus syndrome aids in diagnosing and managing associated congenital anomalies.
    • Early recognition is crucial as lesions are present from birth, impacting developmental assessments.
    • Further research into the genetic and developmental pathways of Becker nevus syndrome is warranted.
