Nevos melanocíticos numa comunidade de origem predominantemente holandesa no Brasil (1999-2007)

Abstract: FUNDAMENTOS: Estudos epidemiológicos têm demonstrado relação significativa entre nevos melanocíticos e melanoma cutâneo. OBJETIVO: Acompanhar o desenvolvimento de nevos melanocíticos nos alunos de uma escola composta, majoritariamente, por descendentes de holandeses e a influência do meio ambiente sobre esses indivíduos com características fenotípicas semelhantes às de seus antepassados. MÉTODOS: Em 1999, iniciou-se estudo coorte para contagem de nevos melanocíticos nos 282 alunos entre três e 17 anos, sendo 5… Show more

“…[11, 1315, 17, 20]. Most studies reported large amounts of nevi in individuals with ephelides [10, 11, 13, 1519, 23]. In our study, no statistically significant correlation was found between eye color, hair color, ephelides and the number of nevi.…”

“…Spitz nevus occurs more commonly on the face and lower limbs of children and adolescents. 9 , 10 One of the patterns found upon dermoscopic is globular, 2 and their growth may be influenced by skin type and sun radiation, 1 and even by the hormonal action at puberty. 5 The factors herein described explain the lesion’s behavior in the patient whose case is reported.…”

“…There being no consensus yet, the hypothesis is that genetic factors and sun radiation can alter the characteristics of such lesions. 1 Initially small, flat, symmetrical, monochromatic nevi can become dome-shaped, verrucous, irregular, and color-mixed. Nevus lesions must be clinically monitored, and the use of a digital or manual dermoscope increases accuracy for malignancy diagnosis from 46% to the naked eye to 93%.…”
