AbstractLocalized congenital cutis verticis gyrate (CVG) is rare and potentially risks skull involvement. A 23-year-old woman presented with a congenital scalp mass in the occipital region. Local thickening of her left occipital scalp with ridges and furrows was observed on examination. Head computed tomography scan showed a lytic area underneath the same area of the occipital calvarium. The mass was surgically removed due to the skull erosion and cosmetic reasons. Pathologic evaluation established CVG. Surgical excision is best for localized congenital CVG with skull erosion due to cosmetic reasons. Surgical excision was rewarding to the patient it allowed her to style her hair.Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
