Abstract
Becker's nevus (BN) is one of the cutaneous hamartomatous lesions that often presents as an acquired, single unilateral pigmented hairy patch on the upper trunk, scapular region, or upper arm. Hereby we introduce a 13-year-old girl with the unusual manifestation of BN with multiple acquired, pigmented hairy patches for six months without any musculoskeletal or developmental involvements. After carefully reviewing the literature, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case in this regard in Iran.

Summary
Becker's nevus (BN) is one of the cutaneous hamartomatous lesions that often presents as a single unilateral pigmented patch on the upper trunk, scapular region, or upper arm that could be accompanied by hypertrichosis. A 13-year-old girl with no significant past medical history was referred to our dermatology clinic with a complaint of two hairy pigmented patches on her back that developed six months ago with no precipitating factor. She was the third child of non-relative parents born by normal vaginal delivery after an uncomplicated perinatal period.
