Various conditions, like cerebriform intradermal nevus (CIN), may give rise to this clinical entity.

Here, we report a 28-year-old male with a huge cerebriform swelling covering the occipital lobe along with multiple nodules all over the body.

The diagnosis of CIN with cellular blue nevus was confirmed |
