Desmoplastic hairless hypopigmented nevus is an extremely rare sclerotic, alopecic, and progressively hypopigmented giant congenital melanocytic nevus, which is histologically characterized by an intense desmoplasia. A significant trend toward spontaneous involution has been described. We report a case of desmoplastic hairless hypopigmented nevus that underwent a progressive depigmentation associated with loss of its woody consistency. The loss of induration appears to be the main marker for the complete regression of these nevi.
