ABSTRACT
When 6 or more Cafe-au-lait spots(CALS) tend to be randomly and widely distributed, we must rule out neurofibromatosis(NF). Nevus depigmentosus is a congenital nonprogressive hypopigmented patch that shows histologically decreased pigmentation while CALS shows increased pigmentation. We report a case of a 16-month-old girl showing generalized multiple cafe-au-lait spots with segmental nevus depigmentosus and capillary hemangioma on her right upper back. A possible explanation for the co-occurrence of CALS and nevus depigmentosus could be the concept of mosaicism.
