“…[51021] In case of nevus of Ota the palatal lesion is infrequent and occurs most frequently with bilateral nevus of Ota. [625] Till date only 12 (excluding the present case) have been reported in English literature. [26] This present case is interesting because of the association of nevus of Ota with bilateral nevus of Ito with palatal lesion.…”

Nevus of Ota and nevus of Ito are rare dermal melanocytoses. Nevus of Ota may be very rarely associated with the nevus of Ito and other extra cutaneous features. Both nevi are similar in all respect apart from the area of distribution. Bilateral distribution of nevus of Ito is seldom reported in the literature. A 24-year-old male patient reported with nevus of Ota of the right side of his face since his infancy and nevus of Ito on both shoulder regions since early childhood. He had bluish lesions on the right side of his hard palate. Systemic examination was normal. Relevant laboratory investigations were non contributory. The histopathological examination of the skin from the affected areas showed the presence of elongated dendritic dermal melanocytes. The present case is the first report of an association of bilateral nevus of Ito with nevus of Ota and palatal lesions. Tanino classified Nevus of Ota into four groups. As both the nevi are similar in all respect except the area of distribution, a minor modification of the existing Tanino's classification to incorporate the nevus of Ito into the classification for the Ota's nevus may be appropriate.

“…There are two reports of deafness being noted in naevus of Ota patients, the hearing loss occurring in the ipsilateral ear. 10 In our case, it was in the contralateral ear. We are unaware of any reports associating oculodermal melanocytosis with antimetropia.…”

“…Despite these variations, the presentation and findings here are most consistent with nevus of Ito. The origin of all dermal melanocytic lesions is generally believed to be secondary to an embryologic defect involving an aberrant migration of melanoblasts from the neural crest to the epidermal junction 2,7,12,13,27 ; it is accepted that a variety of clinical presentations may be appreciated with each of them. Baroody and Holds 13 emphasized that various microenvironmental influences and the different pathways of the neural crest derived progenitor cells may explain some of their differences.…”
