Abstract

A boy, 9 years, 8 months of age, with hairy pigmented nevi over the trunk, upper extremities, and face with bone deformities characteristic of rickets was admitted because of general weakness and poor appetite for 3 weeks. Repeated examinations demonstrated marked brainstem dysfunction; a brainstem tumor was visualized by computed tomography. The patient died 14 days after admission despite supportive treatment. The relationship between giant intradermal nevocellular nevi and brain tumor is discussed.
