Abstract
Becker's nevus or melanosis is an acquired pigmented hairy nevus with both epidermal and dermal components, commonly seen in males. Herein, we report a case of giant bilateral Becker's nevus involving shoulder, scapular region, anterior chest and both the arms. Bilaterally, symmetrical presentation and large area of involvement make it a rare case.
