We report three cases of infants born with extensive linear and retiform pigmentation on the trunk and extremities. In none of these cases was there an associated underlying medical disorder, and in all cases the pigmentation resolved by 6 months of age. It appears that the treatment of choice for this transient disorder is reassurance.
