“…1 However, new entities of blue naevus have recently been described 2 which include the combined type, 3 deep penetrating type, 4 melanocytic dermal tumour of unpredictable outcome, 5 plaque type 6 , 7 and target type. 8 Common blue naevi are usually asymptomatic, blue or black, dome‐shaped papules, measuring less than 1 cm in diameter. Half of the common blue naevi occur on or near the dorsa of the hands and feet.…”

Common blue naevus with satellite lesions: possible perivascular dissemination resulting in a clinical resemblance to malignant melanoma

We report a case of common blue naevus with polymorphous guttate and linear satellite lesions, thereby mimicking peripherally spreading malignant melanoma. Histopathologic examination showed that the naevus cells are clustered around blood vessels in the primary as well as satellite lesions, suggestive of spreading of the naevus cells along the perivascular space. Such biological behaviour resulting in a clinical manifestation of a malignant melanoma-like lesion is a rarity in common blue naevus, a benign cutaneous disorder that is devoid of a malignant potential, and has not been described before.

“…Many atypical morphological presentations of BN have also been described. Target‐like appearance defines a pigmented central portion surrounded by a skin‐coloured area and an outer ring‐like pigmentation . Plaque‐type BN presents as a blue–grey area, 1 cm or larger in size, which could either be composed of a single patch/plaque (Fig.…”

Dermal melanocytoses (DMs) comprise a heterogeneous group of benign lesions, located on skin and mucous membranes, characterized by dendritic melanocytes in the dermis. Although they share common histopathological features, some variants may present only as bluish or grey patches, some only as papules/nodules/plaques and others may show combination of all of these lesions. Despite the fact that blue naevus (BN) is typically characterized with papulonodular lesions, its variants may show all of the aforementioned presentations. Mongolian spot, naevus of Ota and naevus of Ito are patchy DMs distinguished by their specific localizations. Apart from these classical forms, many atypical variants without unique clinicopathological characteristics have been described in the literature making the nomenclature of DMs more complicated. However, congenital dermal melanocytosis and acquired dermal melanocytosis seem to be crucial umbrella terms that encompass all patchy DMs in atypical locations. Papules or subcutaneous nodules on patchy lesions and association of epidermal pigmentation presenting as brownish patches may be encountered as rare features of DMs. On the other hand, delayed‐onset subcutaneous nodules may be typical presentations of melanoma in patchy DMs; therefore, they deserve special attention. Large plaque‐type BN with subcutaneous cellular nodules is a newly described entity, harbouring clinical features of various DMs together and has a high risk of melanoma. The whole spectrum of dermal dendritic melanocytic proliferations is discussed including novelties and controversial issues.

“…Multiple or familial occurrence is uncommon. A number of clinical variants including eruptive, 49–51 plaque‐like, 52–54 agminate (associated with lentigo), 55,56 linear 57 and targetoid 58 blue naevi have been described.…”

Dermal dendritic melanocytic proliferations: an update

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Dermal dendritic melanocytic proliferations are a broad group of congenital and acquired melanocytic lesions characterized by the presence of dermal spindled and dendritic cells resembling melanocytes migrating from the neural crest to the epidermis. Historically, they were subdivided into dermal melanocytoses (naevus of Ota, Ito, Mongolian spot and related conditions), blue naevi and malignant blue naevi. The purpose of this review is to provide an update on recent developments in the field with emphasis on new entities and their differential diagnosis.
