Butterfly-Shaped Mark: A Variant Form of Nevus Flammeus Simplex

Aryeh Metzker MD1 and Raanan Shamir MD1

1 From the Pediatric Dermatology Unit, Beilinson Medical Center, Petah Tiqva, and Tel Aviv University Sackler School of Medicine, Israel

A red-violet, rhomboid-shaped mark on the sacrum of 25 children is described. It is recognized, for the first time, as a part of the nevus flammeus simplex distribution; it is less common than the erythema nuchae or the facial salmon patch. It has the tendency to disappear more slowly than other forms of nevus flammeus simplex. No further investigations seem indicated.

Key Words: port-wine stain • erythema nuchae • nevus flammeus simplex
