Abstract

Becker’s nevus (BN) is an acquired unilateral hyperpigmented hairy macule, whereas morphea is a chronic connective tissue disease of unknown etiology, characterized by skin thickening with increased quantities of collagen in the indurated lesion, usually involving the upper trunk and proximal extremity. The occurrence of both disease in the same anatomical site and individual was not reported previously. We report this rare case in a 17-year-old, Indian girl and was diagnosed after clinical histopathology and dermoscopic correlation. Morphea can be an interesting incidental occurrence within a large plaque of BN.
