| Research Abstract |
A part of cases of type 5 segmental neurofibromatosis have been elucidated as a result of somatic mutations of neurofibromin genes. Becker's melanosis is a congenital dermatosis characterized by a localized pigment patch, which appears around puberty. The clinical features of Becker's melanosis are similar to those of type 5 neurofibromatosis. We hypothesized that Becker' s melanosis would represent a mosaic case of neurofibromatosis. We investigated patients with Becker' s melanosis and compared with type 5 segmental and type 1 neurofibromatosis by histopathological and immunohistopathological techniques. Results showed that in the lesions of Becker's melanosis neurofibromas were found and mast cell numbers were increased. These were also found in the lesions of type 5 segmental and type 1 neurofibromatosis. These results suggest that Becker's melanosis may be a mosaic case of neurofibromatosis. Further studies including gene analysis are requested for elucidation of this problem.
