The skin of the large hairy naevus, as well as that of the smaller ones, was stated by Schulz to have been in the main thickened, in part uneven, verrucose, from very light to intensely dark brown in color; the consistency of the larger mammiform and smaller tumors soft, doughy, and elastic.
The case was really one of large congenital naevus pilosus and fibroma molluscum combined. A Peruvian boy was shown at the Westminster Aquarium with a dark, hairy mole situated in the lower part of the trunk and on the thighs in the position of bathing tights.
Nevins Hyde records two similar cases with dermatolytic growths.
A sister of the Peruvian boy referred to had a still larger growth, extending from the nucha all over the back.
