We report on a child with a divided or kissing nevus of the penis with benign symmetric globular pattern on dermoscopic examination that evolved into a globular-reticular pattern after 1 year of follow-up. Divided nevus of the penis is exceedingly rare, with only four cases with dermoscopic findings reported to date. Dermoscopy seems to be useful when deciding on the most appropriate management of these cases.

Divided naevus of the penis: two paediatric cases with dermoscopic findings

et al. 2014

Divided or kissing naevi are located on adjacent parts of the body that are separated during embryogenesis. Divided naevus of the penis (DNP) is exceedingly rare, with < 15 cases reported in the English language literature. Divided penile naevi affect the glans penis and inner foreskin, which are anatomical structures believed to have a common embryological origin. We report the clinical, dermoscopic and histopathological findings of two children with DNP. To our knowledge, this is the first report of patients with DNP seen in South America, and the first in which dermoscopic findings are discussed; these included a large globular pattern in one patient, and homogeneous, streaked and globular patterns in the other.

“…The former is an indicator of heavily melanin-containing cells in the superficial dermis. Among sixteen cases of divided nevus of the penis [1][2][3][4][5][6][7], only one case of malignant melanoma after a diagnosis of divided nevus has been reported [3]. In that case, both congenital melanocytic nevi, on the prepuce and on the glans, had changed rapidly in size and color within a year and surgical excision with a 0.5 to 1.0-cm margin was performed.…”

“…Sixteen cases of "divided" or "kissing" nevus on the genital mucosa have been reported [1][2][3][4][5][6][7], including one case of divided melanoma on the penis [3]. Pigmented epithelioid melanocytoma is a borderline melanocytic tumor encompassing epithelioid blue nevus, with or without Carney complex, and most tumors previously considered so-called "animal-type melanomas" [8].…”
