Linear
and whorled nevoid hypermelanosis(LWNH) is a congenital
disorder which was first described by Kalter in
1988 and is characterized by asymmetrically distributed
linear and whorled hyperpigmentation following Blaschk
o's lines. It usually appears at birth or during
the first weeks of life and is rarely associated
with various congenital defects. Its pathogenesis
is not well known, but developmental somatic mosaicism
appears the most likely cause. It is probably not
a rare disease, but not well recognized or is confused
with other entities. Herein, we report a typical
case of LWNH in 9 month-old boy. |
