    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a rare condition characterized by scalp hyperplasia.
    • Pseudo-CVG encompasses conditions mimicking true CVG, often involving benign or atypical nevi.

    Observation:

    • A unique case of "Pseudo"-Cutis verticis gyrata naevocellularis is presented.
    • This condition is also referred to as "cerebriform intradermal nevus".

    Findings:

    • The study discusses the potential for malignant degeneration in cerebriform intradermal nevi.
    • A novel classification system for Cutis verticis gyrata is proposed based on this case.

    Implications:

    • This research highlights the importance of distinguishing benign from potentially malignant variants of CVG.
    • The proposed classification may aid in diagnosis and management of these rare scalp conditions.
