Introduction: The association of Becker's nevus with other cutaneous, musculoskeletal or maxillofacial anomalies is called Becker nevus syndrome. Ipsilateral breast hypoplasia is the main reason for female patients to seek medical advice. We present two clinical cases of Becker nevus syndrome with thoracic nevus and ipsilateral breast hypoplasia treated with lipofilling alone (fat grafting).
Material And Methods: For the two consecutive cases of Becker nevus syndrome treated by fat grafts, we present the surgical technique and the outcome at one year follow-up. Fat was harvested with cannula after infiltration. The adipose tissue was prepared with a short centrifugation. Fat grafting was realized as backward injections.
Results: We have noticed a concomitant improvement of the thoracic nevus color with a stable result after one-year follow-up. The aesthetic result after lipofilling was evaluated as very satisfying by the patient. The breast symmetry was improved.
Conclusions: We believe that the lipofilling technique is a natural and valuable treatment option for thoracic anomalies in Becker nevus syndrome with a major impact on patient's quality of life.

Article Synopsis
- Becker's nevus (BN) is a benign, unilateral skin lesion that shows up as a hyperpigmented, hairy area, usually seen in adolescents, and is rarely found on the lower limbs.
- A 17-year-old boy presented with typical dermoscopic signs of BN on his lower leg, highlighting the effectiveness of dermoscopy in the diagnosis.
- While no definitive treatment exists for BN, cosmetic improvements are often the goal, and laser therapy has been found effective; however, treatment may not be necessary if the patient is unconcerned about appearance.

This case report explores a rare manifestation of Becker's nevus, where the patient exhibited an unusual dermatomal distribution featuring a hyperpigmented, irregular patch with associated hypertrichosis on the T4 segment. While Becker's nevus is a well-known dermatological condition typically observed in the upper back region, instances of dermatomal distribution are exceptionally uncommon. This case presents a unique occurrence of segmental Becker's nevus, highlighting the atypical presentation of this condition.
