We report a case of an otherwise healthy male newborn, with segmental café au lait spots on his left buttocks and left thigh down to the medial knee, in a nevoid pattern, and an aberrant Mongolian spot on the ipsilateral cheek of the buttocks in a checkerboard pattern. We propose the name phacomatosis pigmentopigmentalis in analogy to phacomatosis pigmentovascularis, and phacomatosis pigmentokeratotica.
