  • Title: Cerebriform intradermal nevus.
    Author: Lasser AE.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 1983 Jul; 1(1):42-4. PubMed ID: 6679888.
    Abstract:
    Tumors make up almost 25% of the causes of cutis verticis gyrata. An underlying dermal nevus or neurofibroma is the tumor most often found. Two new cases of cutis verticis gyrata caused by an intradermal nevus cell nevus (cerebriform intradermal nevus) are presented. The importance of early diagnosis and aggressive surgical excision and plastic reconstruction in an attempt to minimize the emotional trauma of the required surgery is stressed. Cerebriform intradermal nevi are a type of large congenital nevi and should be evaluated with this in mind.
