Eruptive nevi after burn injury

Abstract

Eruptive melanocytic nevi (EMN) is an unusual phenomenon characterized by the abrupt development of multiple melanocytic nevi over weeks to months in association with an underlying trigger. The underlying mechanisms are not fully understood, however, they have been associated with a variety of conditions. EMN is relatively uncommon and might be underreported due to the absence of close monitoring, insufficient recognition, and the presumed benign course of the condition. We describe the first case report of acral EMN associated with a burn wound on a 2-year-old child. Familiarity is important to differentiate EMN from neoplasms.

Agminated Spitzoid Naevi after Remission of Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis: First Italian Case and Literature Review

“…Pathogenesis of agminated naevi in patients with LCH history is not yet entirely clear. Eruptive naevi can be idiopathic or linked to trauma, burns, cutaneous mastocytosis, and primary adrenocortical insufficiency (6)(7)(8). In the literature, the development of multiple melanocytic naevi is often associated with an underlying trigger (6).…”

“…In the literature, the development of multiple melanocytic naevi is often associated with an underlying trigger (6). It has been commonly associated to severe blistering skin diseases, such as naevi in epidermolysis bullosa, or to immunosuppressive conditions (7)(8)(9)(10). Relationship with various pharmacologic treatments (i.e.…”

A case of eruptive melanocytic nevi in an 8-year-old healthy boy

“…3 There are no clear predisposing factors, but reported associations include diminished immune surveillance, genetic susceptibility, and adverse drug effects. 4,5 Furthermore, various triggers including light exposure, cutaneous injury, bullous dermatoses, biologic chemotherapeutics, increased hormone levels, atopic dermatitis, postoperative fever, and seizures were implicated. 1…”
