Zusammenfassung:Pigmentary anomalies display a variety of different patterns. The phylloid pattern is characterized by a leaf-shaped arrangement reminiscent of floral ornaments. We describe a 20-year-old Korean man with hyperpigmented oblong patches and atypically short, thick hairs in a phylloid pattern on the face, the left shoulder, and the left side of the trunk. Associated musculoskeletal anomalies included equinovarus deformities, bilateral club foot, lumbar lordosis, spina bifida, and relative hypertrophy of the right thigh muscles.
