A rare case of pure eccrine nevus presented as unique brownish depressed patches in a 2-year-old girl. Biopsy confirmed increased eccrine ducts and coils, supporting the diagnosis of this unique skin condition.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Histopathology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Eccrine nevi are rare benign adnexal tumors.
  • They typically present as hyperkeratotic papules or plaques.
  • Pure eccrine nevus is an uncommon variant.

Observation:

  • A 2-year-old girl presented with variably-sized, well-demarcated, depressed brownish patches.
  • Lesions were present on the left shoulder, back, and both legs since 1 month of age.
  • Clinical presentation was unique compared to previously reported cases.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination of a biopsy from the left shoulder revealed an increased number of normal intradermal eccrine ducts and coils.
  • These findings were compatible with a diagnosis of pure eccrine nevus.

  • The unique clinical presentation included depressed brownish patches.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the clinical spectrum of pure eccrine nevus.
    • Highlights the importance of histopathological correlation for diagnosing rare skin conditions.
    • Further research may elucidate the specific genetic or developmental pathways involved.
