- Abstract
The article presents a case study of 17-year-old girl presented with brownish macules in a whorled and linear pattern along the lines of Blaschko on the trunk and limbs. A skin biopsy confirmed the clinical diagnosis of linear and whorled nevoid hypermelanosis by revealing the increased basal layer pigmentation without melanocytosis. It also discusses the dermoscopic features of linear and whorled nevoid hypermelanosis.
