Résumé

Becker's nevus syndrome is defined by the association of a Becker nevus with homolateral breast hypoplasia or more rarely skeletal cutaneous or muscle deformities. Early diagnosis is important, especially in female patients to prevent and treat breast hypoplasia. We report two cases of Becker nevus syndrome with serious functional impairment and discuss possible treatment options.
