title: Phakomatosis pigmentovascularis: report of a case.
abstract: Phakomatosis pigmentovascularis is a rare cutaneous malformation characterized by a combination of melanocytic nevi and nevus flammeus. We report a 16-year-old boy with extensive and predominantly unilateral skin involvement combining features of speckled melanocytic nevi over a background of nevus flammeus. A brief review of the literature and classification of this phakomatosis is presented.
