The association of multisystem pathologic conditions and epidermal nevi, known as the epidermal nevus syndrome, includes disorders of bone, central nervous system, eye, kidney, vasculature and skin. Rarely, congenital nevomelanocytic nevus also known as hairy nevus has also been reported in association with hypophosphatemic rickets. Studies suggest that phosphaturia, caused by circulating factors, called "phosphatonins" may be secreted by an epidermal or hairy nevus. We report here, a rare case of hypophosphatemic rickets associated with a giant hairy nevus in a 10-year-old boy.

Pigmented hairy epidermal nevus, also known as Becker's nevus, has a typical description as a unilateral, hairy in appearance, light to dark brown patch with an irregular but clearly defined border. However, the exact aetiopathogenesis is still poorly comprehended.

Article Synopsis
- The follicular variant of Becker's nevus is a rare skin condition that has been under-reported, with a recent study highlighting its occurrence in 7 patients confirmed by specialized examinations.* -
- Dermoscopy reveals a unique pattern of skin pigmentation, showing lightening around the hair follicles paired with a net-like darker pigmentation, while histological analyses confirm these findings with specific melanization patterns.* -
- Although biopsy can definitively diagnose the condition, it is often not required for diagnosis due to the clear visual and dermoscopic characteristics.*

However, the development of melanoma from a pre-existing giant congenital nevus diagnosed during the neonatal period is exceptionally rare.
