“…16 Previously, we described a similar mechanism in patients with multiple halo naevi. 17 In this study, we observed a higher prevalence of CMN in patients with vitiligo compared with the control group, although this finding was not significant. However, this might be due to the relatively small number of patients in the control group.…”

“…[16] identified a subset of halo nevi with additional subtle depigmentations distant to HN and called “halo nevi associated-leukoderma” [16]. In our own study, several depigmented spots were found, especially in the posterior trunk middle related to halo nevi located in the anterior trunk upper (3/22), but the biopsy from spots has been not taken.…”

IntroductionHalo nevus (HN) is a rare dermatologic entity characterized by a typical whitish rim encircling the existing melanocytic nevus resembling a halo. The clinical picture is suggesting its diagnosis, but so far only several dermoscopic descriptions of halo nevus have existed in the PubMed database.AimTo present the clinical and dermoscopic characteristics of halo nevus observed in dermoscopy.Material and methodsFifteen patients were diagnosed clinically and dermoscopically with halo nevus during planned routine dermoscopic examinations of all melanocytic lesions in 2007–2013. All digital images stored in the computer database were analyzed retrospectively according to the procedure described in the study. The clinical and dermoscopic parameters such as the dermoscopic pattern, color of nevus, special features and description of the surrounding halo were analyzed statistically.ResultsWe analyzed 22 halo nevi (9 in females, 13 in males) in 15 patients (7 females, 8 males) diagnosed during the dermoscopic examination. The mean age of patients during dermoscopic examinations was 18.2 years. Mean patients’ age at HN onset was 15.7 years. Halo nevi occurred the most often as a solitary lesion. The ratio of multiple halo nevi to solitary halo nevus was 5 : 10. Every third halo nevus was located on the posterior trunk upper. In 68.2% of HN cases, the surrounding rim (halo) was characterized by its homogenous, whitish color.ConclusionsDermoscopic patterns such as uniform globular and structureless constituted one-third each of them in all analyzed patterns.

“…Multiple halo nevi was developed by 25-50% of halo nevi patients. 41,42 It involves most commonly compound nevi, although a junctional or dermal pattern is also possible. Both congenital and acquired nevi can be affected.…”

Histopathology is considered the 'gold' standard for the diagnosis and classification of melanocytic nevi, but the widespread use of in vivo diagnostic technologies such as dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), has enriched profoundly the knowledge regarding the morphological variability in nevi. This is because most morphological observations made via these in vivo tools are closely correlated with features seen in histopathology. Dermoscopy has allowed for a more detailed classification of nevi. As such, dermoscopy identifies four main morphologic groups (i.e. globular, reticular, starburst and structureless blue nevi), one group of nevi located at special body sites (i.e. face, acral, nail) and one group of nevi with special features. This latter category consists of nevi of the former categories, which are typified by peculiar clinical-histopathological findings. They can be subdivided into 'melanoma simulators' including combined nevi, recurrent nevi and sclerosing nevus with pseudomelanomatous features, 'targetoid' nevi (i.e. halo, cockade, irritated targetoid haemosiderotic and eczematous nevus) and uncommon histopathological variants such as desmoplastic, white dysplastic or ballon cell nevus. While the dermoscopic and RCM patterns of the former categories have been studied in detail, little is currently known about the clinical morphology of the heterogeneous group of 'special' nevi. In this article, we describe the clinical, dermoscopic and RCM features of 'special' nevi and review the current literature on this group of melanocytic proliferations.
