“…This condition lasts until the 15th week (Andersen et al 1965). On the other hand, contemporary opinions as regards histogenesis of divided nevus agree that divided nevus is formed if nevus cells invade in the skin of fused embryonal eyelids and if this process is completed prior to the reopening of the eyehds (Fuchs 1960, Harrison & Okun 1960, Kukita & Matsuzawa 1966, Ehlers 1969. The divided forms of the pigmented lesions in our cases could be formed by similar sequences of development such as those just mentioned above.…”

“…During the period 1976-1977 we observed two patients suffering from nevus spilus and one patient with spotted grouped pigmented nevus, which had a characteristic distribution pattern remarkably simulating divided nevus (Michel 1908, Fuchs 1919, Fuchs 1960, Harrison & Okun 1960, Kukita & Matsuzawa 1966, Ehlers 1969. These pigmented maeules were restricted to the area around the eye and were located on the opposite portions of the upper and lower eyelids.…”

Divided Nevus Spilus and Divided Form of Spotted Grouped Pigmented Nevus

1979

Two cases of divided nevus spilus and a case of divided form of spotted grouped pigmented nevus are reported. In this group, flat melanotic macules around the eyes were located on the opposite parts of the upper and lower eyelids. The macules were divided by the palpebral fissure when the lids were open, and the two halves of the lesions formed a unit when the lids were closed. Case presentation as such may be intriguing in the clarification of the developmental relation between aberrantly differentiated melanin synthesizing cells and normal melanocytes.
