RESUMEN
Becker's naevus also known as Becker's melanosis (BM) or pigmented hairy epidermal naevus is a cutaneous hamartoma with brown hyperpigmentation and hypertrichosis. It commonly occurs during adolescence and rarely at birth. It usually affects young post-pubertal males and has a prevalence of 0.5%. A naevus usually consists of a circumscribed, unilateral, irregularly shaped, hyperpigmented spot usually located around the anterior upper body, with or without hypertrichosis and/or acneiform lesions. Sometimes developmental abnormalities can occur with Becker's naevus, which is called Becker's naevus syndrome (BNS). Becker's naevus was of atypical presentation in two patients over the forearm and leg. Hence, these case reports gain importance.
RESUMEN
The dermatological canvas, often considered the storyteller of human health, is imbued with narratives that intertwine with the very essence of the natural world. A mesmerizing facet of this narrative is found in "animals eponyms" - enigmatic skin conditions christened after animals whose traits mimic the intricate nuances of these dermatological tales. Delving into this realm unveils a tapestry where medicine and nature dance in synchrony, encapsulating both the artistry and science of dermatology. Animals eponyms offer a unique bridge between dermatology and the natural world. They serve as memorable tools for recognizing and diagnosing dermatological conditions while embodying the fascinating connection between humans and the animal kingdom. By examining these eponyms, dermatologists gain a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between medicine and nature, ultimately enhancing patient care through enhanced diagnostic acumen.
