Spitz nevi are benign melanocytic neoplasms of children and young adults that can be exceedingly difficult to distinguish from malignant melanomas. Although a nearly definite diagnosis can be made in most cases, the histological distinction between Spitz nevi and melanomas is equivocal in about 6% to 8% of cases. In those cases, and perhaps even with presumed benign Spitz nevi, clear surgical margins are desirable. The most helpful differentiating features of Spitz nevi are patient age, sharp demarcation, symmetry, maturation of melanocytes at the base, and epithelial hyperplasia. None of these criteria are completely reliable, and multiple other criteria must be considered as well. 相似文献

The clinical recognition of lentigo maligna (LM) in the mottled chronic sun-damaged skin can be challenging, because it shares many clinical features with other pigmented macules that commonly arise on sun-damaged skin. These include solar lentigo, flat seborrheic keratosis, and pigmented actinic keratosis, but almost never “nevus.” The reason nevus is not included in the differential diagnosis of LM can be explained by the fact that the stereotypical appearance of a facial nevus differs remarkably from that of an LM. Facial nevi in adults are usually nodular, dome-shaped, well-defined, and hypopigmented (ie, intradermal nevus of the Miescher type), whereas LM typically appears as a flat, ill-defined, and pigmented macule. Although this concept based on clinical observations sounds reasonable, clinicians apply it often only unconsciously and accept a given histopathologic diagnosis of a “junctional or lentiginous nevus” of a flat pigmented facial macule without the necessary criticism about its clinicopathologic validity. 相似文献

Intracranial invasion of cellular blue nevus is extremely rare, and its malignant transformation is even less common. The differential diagnosis includes neurocutaneous melanosis and neurocristic cutaneous hamartoma. A 50-year-old female presented with intracranial melanoma in contiguity with a congenital blue nevus on the scalp. The patient showed a wide pigmented lesion on the scalp that had grown in the last few years over the congenital blue nevus. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an intracranial tumor lying contiguous to the nevus. Despite aggressive surgery, the tumor relapsed and the patient developed systemic metastases. We report a rare case of cellular blue nevus showing an unexpected aggressive behavior with extensive extra- and intracranial expansion and distant metastases. 相似文献

Acquired melanocytic nevi are among the commonest neoplasms in man, yet classification of them has proven elusive and elucidation unsatisfactory. From "active junctional nevus" to "dysplastic nevus," the brains of clinicians and histopathologists have been boggled and the psyches and skin of patients have been served badly. This essay advocates eponymic designations for acquired melanocytic nevi, all of which are common, as the surest route to comprehensive classification of them. 相似文献

Epidermal nevi (EN) represent a heterogeneous group of mosaic skin lesions frequently following the lines of Blaschko. They are divided into organoid and nonorganoid types. Herein we report on a 35-year-old man with a rather unusual type of EN. A linear lesion involving the trunk and following Blaschko's lines was conspicuously bordered by dark brown papules. The flat reddish central area histopathologically showed sebaceous hyperplasia consistent with nevus sebaceus, an organoid EN type, whereas the elevated margin showed features of a common nonorganoid keratinocytic EN. For this peculiar disorder, we propose the term 'nevus marginatus'. So far it is not clear whether nevus marginatus represents a distinct entity or merely an unusual clinical variant of nevus sebaceus. 相似文献

Papular elastorrhexis is a rare entity of elastic tissue characterized by multiple white papules usually located on the trunk. We report a case of papular elastorrhexis in a 22-year-old man with sparse lesions and discuss the main controversial facts in this entity: its consideration as an independent disease or as an incomplete form of Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome and the confusion with and its possible inclusion as a variant of elastic tissue naevi. 相似文献

A 23-year-old man was seen for dry, rough skin and alopecia present since birth. There was no history of impaired sweating, photophobia, or lacrimation. Examination revealed generalized cutaneous thorn-like projections with nonscarring alopecia, twenty-nail dystrophy, and palmoplantar keratoderma. 相似文献

The epithelioid blue nevus has recently been associated with the Carney complex, which is characterized by myxomas, spotty skin pigmentation, endocrine overactivity, and schwannomas. Using the general criteria proposed by Carney and Ferreiro, similar lesions were identified in 33 patients with no evidence of the Carney complex. Those lesions presented on the face, trunk and extremities of 15 males and 18 females. The mean age was 35 years, much older than those in the Carney complex (mean 16.3 years). Clinical diagnoses included malignant blue nevus, atypical nevus, melanoma, congenital nevus, and dermatofibroma. The lesions were symmetric, predominantly dermal melanocytic proliferations arranged as short fascicles, small nests, and single cells. Large polygonal and epithelioid melanocytes with moderate pleomorphism, and occasional nuclear pseudoinclusions were admixed with heavily pigmented dendritic and spindled melanocytes and melanophages. Rare mitotic figures were seen in some cases. The neoplasms showed a morphologic spectrum that encompassed a group of combined blue nevi with epithelioid melanocytes and other Spitz's nevus characteristics. These epithelioid combined nevi (ECN) fell into three phenotypes with morphologies that most closely paralleled those pictured by Carney and Ferreiro in the Carney complex: the classic or Carney complex pattern (ECN-CC), those that showed overlap with deep penetrating nevus (ECN-DPN), and those that have many dermal Spitz's nevus features, [BLue + SpITZ's nevus; (ECN-BLITZ)I. In six cases, there was such an admixture of features that it was difficult to ascribe them to one of the groups. Nine lesions had associated banal congenital nevus. Follow-up that averaged over 2.5 years (31 months) (range 6-162 months) showed no evidence of malignancy or recurrent disease after excision. Epithelioid combined nevus is a type of combined nevus with blue nevus and Spitz's nevus features, which may or may not be associated with the Carney complex. It shows morphologic overlap with the epithelioid blue nevus described by Carney (ECN-CC), deep penetrating nevus (ECN-DPN), and blue nevus with intradermal Spitz's (desmoplastic) nevus (ECN-BLITZ). Epithelioid combined nevus is thought to be a fitting nosologic designation for all of these lesions. 相似文献
