Abstract

Background: Acquired cerebriform intradermal naevus (CIN) is a rare form of pseudo cutis verticis gyrata.

Case report: A case of acquired CIN of the scalp in a 46-year-old male patient is presented. The clinical and histopathological presentations of CIN are described and the therapeutic possibilities are discussed.

Conclusions: In each individual case the physician must decide whether to do surgery or follow a wait-and-see policy. There is little risk of malignant change of CIN, and surgical excision of such lesions often involves evident mutilation.
