Abstract

A 9-year-old male presented with an asymptomatic, confluent, and hyperpigmented skin lesion on the right lateral trunk region presented at birth. No changes in color and consistency are reported, excepting that the lesion enlarged in proportion to the patient´s growth. The mother informed that the patient was diagnosed with anxiety one year ago. Physical examination revealed a large, hyperpigmented, and confluent patch of overgrown skin with a dimension between 20 cm long and 15cm wide associated with painless verrucous plaques located on the right lateral trunk region
