Blue nevi are uncommon, asymptomatic lesions of the uterine cervix. These lesions are not often detected clinically or on colposcopy. Careful histopathological examination is required. The nevus cells are said to originate from the immature melanoblasts of the neural crest. These lesions need to be differentiated from malignant melanoma and melanosis of the cervix. We present here a case report...

Nevus sebaceous is known by its association with one or more secondary tumors, but more than three multiple tumors arising from a nevus sebaceous is extremely rare. A 67-year-old female presented with a light brown plaque on the back of her head that contained a dome-shaped black node and an erosive lesion. Histopathological examination showed atypical basaloid cells in the black node. At the p...

Nevus sebaceus of Jadassohn is a congenital cutaneous hamartoma comprised of multiple skin structures. It has the potential to develop into variety of neoplasms of various epidermal adnexal origins. While multiple tumors may occasionally arise, it is unusual for more than four tumors to arise simultaneously within a single sebaceus nevus. Here in, we report a case of a 70-year-old woman with si...

Congenital melanocytic nevus consists of congregations of nevomelanocytes. It is found in approximately 1% of new born infants. Congenital melanocytic nevus needs to be excised before it transforms into a malignant lesion. Many strategies have been attempted for the removal and reconstruction of the nevus. Serial excision enables wound closure to be accomplished with a shorter scar than if the ...

Lentigines are usually flat, pigmented macules on the skin and mucosa. These lesions are characterized by mostly smaller than 0.5 cm, irregular borders and different shades of brown and black. They can be in the form of circumscribed or widespread lesions, and occur either as isolated lesion or as a part of some congenital syndromes. The speckled lentiginous nevus is also named as Nevus Spilus ...

The most common and well known is nevus Sutton or halo nevus first described in medical journals in 1916, where a hypopigmented area develops around a pre-existing melanocytic nevus. Halo nevi undergo specific sequelae: In Stage I the nevus remains brown, in stage II its pigment can disappear leading to a pink-colored papule. In stage III the central papule disappears, leading to a circular are...

INTRODUCTION A congenital lower lip nevus is common, but a lower lip length lesion of more than 40% is hard to excise simply, without any distortion. We designed a lower lip bilateral advanced skin flap to restore the wound surface after completely and successfully removing the nevus. CASE PRESENTATION A 13-year-old Mongolian girl was referred to us with a giant congenital lower lip nevus. Th...

Divided nevus or kissing nevus is a rare form of congenital nevus that usually occurs on adjacent parts of the upper and lower eyelids of one eye. Most often, the formation is present from birth, but it may also appear later. Three new cases during the period 1996 to 2004 are reported. Two of them were treated in our unit for oncological, functional and aesthetic purposes, and one preferred not...

C-Kit (CD117), the receptor for the stem cell factor, a growth factor for melanocyte migration and proliferation, has shown differential immunostaining in various benign and malignant melanocytic lesions. The purpose of this study is to compare c-Kit immunostaining in benign nevi and in primary and metastatic malignant melanomas, to determine whether c-Kit can aid in the differential diagnosis ...
