patient with Becker nevus of the lower limb. Subsequently, 11 more cases of Becker nevus of the leg have been reported.4 In 2 patients, the reports explicitly noted the absence of hypertrichosis. In 2 female patients, Becker nevus was associated with localized lipoatrophy: a 14-year-old girl with a softtissue defect on the ventral aspect of her thigh and a 45-yearold woman with lipoatrophy on the right thigh.5 The case presented herein is unusual because the Becker nevus extended below the knee and involved almost the entire leg.
