Abstract: Congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) are common birthmarks with 20% occurring on the limbs. We describe 4 patients with acral CMN with a “biker‐glove” distribution with sparing of the distal digits, as has previously been described in acral infantile hemangiomas (IH). The existence of the biker‐glove pattern suggests that CMN arise from early mutations in melanocyte precursors and supports the recently described Kinsler‐Larue hypothesis of mesenchymal distribution of melanocyte migration occurring in a circular f… Show more

“…To enhance uniformity in CMN care and research, we recommend using the consensus derived, internationally used classification developed by Krengel et al. 20 and qualified (the “6B” 21 and “biker glove” distributions 22 ) for the CMN location.…”

“…The size, colour and texture of the CMN, as well as a proxy for the number of ‘satellite’ (disseminated) naevi, are included in the CDS. These aspects are also recommended as baseline characteristics to be reported by a consensus‐derived, internationally used classification developed by Krengel et␣al ., 9 and qualified (the ‘6B’ and ‘biker glove’ distributions) 26 , 27 for the location of the CMN. We highly recommend using these classifications in all CMN reports to obtain uniform descriptions of CMN.…”

“…Another classification of CMN has been proposed by Kinsler et al This classification system is based on the migration of precursor melanocytes from the dorsal midline, in a non‐segmental pattern, at the time of gastrulation during embryogenesis 20 . In another classification system, authors have classified CMN based on the timing of events in embryological development 21 . Streamline classification may be useful as a research tool and help to identify high‐risk CMN lesions and prevent its complications.…”
