A 2-year-old girl had variably-sized, relatively well demarcated, depressed brownish patches on the left shoulder, back, and both legs from the age of 1 month. The biopsy specimen from the left shoulder showed an increase in the number of normal intradermal eccrine ducts and coils, which was compatible with pure eccrine nevus. The clinical manifestation of our case, including brownish depressed patches, was unique compared to other reported cases.
