Becker's melanosis is a distinct clinical entity. It usually presents in adolescence as a unilateral, hyperpigmented, hairy cutaneous hamartoma. We report herein 12 cases of Becker's melanosis that differ in their presentation from classical Becker's melanosis, and we believe that such presentations are not uncommon.
