Dr. Prajul Mehta and Dr. Ashwani Rana*

ABSTRACT

Hypomelanosis of Ito is a rare condition characterized by distinctive hypopigmented whorls and streaks distributed along the lines of Blaschko and is often associated with neurological and musculoskeletal abnormalities. We hereby report a 2-year-old boy who presented with extensive hypopigmented whorls and patches along the lines of Blaschko present on both sides of the trunk since birth. The child had no other systemic abnormality. The early diagnosis and timely work up to rule out any systemic involvement is important for timely management and better quality of life.
