“…as occurred in our patient, has not been described so far. This coincidence could have happened by chance, but an interrelation between these conditions appears much more likely, as immunological factors seem to play a crucial role for the induction of both the halo phenomenon and vitiligo (25). lmmunohistology of the CMN of our patient revealed a dense CD3-and CD8-positive infiltrate.…”

Unlike in common melanocytic naevi, an acquired leukoderma (halo) surrounding a congenital melanocytic naevus is a rare phenomenon. A 6-year-old boy developed a depigmentation around a congenital melanocytic naevus on the right thigh. Simultaneously, segmental vitiligo appeared on the thigh, lower abdomen and buttock of the same side with sharp midline demarcation. Examination for associated autoimmune diseases proved negative. The simultaneous occurrence of a halo phenomenon around a congenital melanocytic naevus and segmental vitiligo, as well as identical histological and immunohistological findings in both pigmented lesions, suggest shared immunological mechanisms.

“…The nevi usually persist unchanged once the regression of the eczema occurs, but progression to halo nevi was also rarely documented. Coexistence of Meyerson's nevi and halo nevi was also seen in rare cases [16,17]. An association with atopy has been reported, but its etiopathogenesis remains unknown.…”

Dermoscopy, Reflectance Confocal Microscopy and Immunohistochemical Analysis in Melanocytic Lesions with Meyerson's Phenomenon

Background: Meyerson's phenomenon is characterized by a symmetrical halo of erythema and scale around central, mostly melanocytic lesions. Objective: Our aim was to describe the dermoscopic and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) features of melanocytic tumors less frequently associated with Meyerson's phenomenon, with histopathology and immunohistochemistry correlation. Methods: Clinical, dermoscopic and RCM images of 4 histopathologically confirmed melanocytic tumors associated with Meyerson's phenomenon (3 dysplastic compound nevi and 1 melanoma) were retrospectively collected, with additional immunohistochemical analysis. Results: RCM showed in vivo features of both melanocytic and spongiotic nature of the lesion associated with Meyerson's phenomenon, even in cases with absent halo. Our study also supported the involvement of immune-mediated CD4+ T lymphocyte mechanisms and Langerhans cells. Conclusion: Our case series supports the potential of RCM in the evaluation of tumoral and inflammatory skin diseases. RCM features of rare Meyerson's melanoma were also described for the first time.

“…rial, and the complete regression of CLH after the excision of the nevus suggest a cause-and-effect relationship. We postulate that nevus cells had become antigenic, in a similar way as in Sutton's phenomenon [3] or in melanoma-associated vitiligo [4] , albeit with a different histological reaction in CLH. In both phenomena, a preexistent melanocytic lesion becomes antigenic with no apparent reason.…”
