    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a rare condition characterized by scalp convolutions.
    • Tumors account for approximately 25% of CVG cases, with dermal nevi and neurofibromas being common underlying causes.

    Observation:

    • Presents two new cases of CVG attributed to cerebriform intradermal nevi (a type of large congenital nevus).

    Findings:

    • Intradermal nevus cell nevi can cause cutis verticis gyrata.
    • Cerebriform intradermal nevi require evaluation as large congenital nevi.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of early diagnosis for CVG caused by intradermal nevi.
    • Stresses the need for aggressive surgical excision and plastic reconstruction to mitigate emotional trauma.
    • Emphasizes the congenital nature of cerebriform intradermal nevi, guiding clinical assessment.
