Hypomelanosis of Ito is a rare neurocutaneous syndrome, characterized by streaks and swirls of hypopigmentation arranged in a Blaschkoid pattern. Other associated anomalies are observed. We report a case of a male cynomolgus monkey ( Macaca fascicularis ) who presented the characteristic of hypomelanosis of Ito with palmoplantar involvement and polythelia.
