“…Despite Spitz nevi usually present as solitary cutaneous lesions, multiple Spitz nevi can be divided into agminated (ASN) or disseminated [45]. To date, 20 cases of disseminated (or multiple or eruptive) Spitz nevi [45,[63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82] have been reported in the literature, while, regarding agminated Spitz nevi, a total of 39 cases have been reported [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56]…”

Background: Agmination and/or satellitosis in pigmented blue lesions is a phenomenon rarely mentioned in the literature and not well known. This phenomenon can be expressed by several benign and malignant pigmented blue lesions, such as blue nevi, Spitz nevi, melanocytoma and melanoma. On this spectrum, dermoscopy, reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) and dynamic Optical coherence tomography (D-OCT) represent non-invasive imaging technologies, which may help clinicians in the diagnosis of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers in daily clinical practice. Methods: Currently, in the literature there is a lack of new data about agminated blue lesions and blues lesions with satellitosis, as well as the lack of a recent and updated review of the literature about this topic. Therefore, considering that clinicians must be confident with the diagnosis of these rare skin lesions, we decided to carry out this work. Results: In this paper, four new cases of agminated pigmented cutaneous lesions were described. Moreover, a review of the current literature on this topic was performed. Conclusions: A clinical–pathological correlation is often needed to reach a correct diagnosis; currently, dermoscopy and non-invasive diagnostic techniques, such as reflectance confocal microscopy and optical coherence tomography, due to the depth of these skin lesions in the dermis, can only make a partial and limited contribution.
