“…NS is considered small if >1.5 cm, medium if it varies from 1.5 to 19.9 cm and large if its diameter exceeds 20 cm [37]. Segmental, zoniform, also known as zosteriform NS (Figure 3, Figure 4), can exist [48][49][50][51][52][53] too. The prevalence of the latter in the general population has not as yet been established because, in the literature, only the odd case has been reported.…”

Since Burkley first adopted the term Nevus spilus (NS) in 1842, then, many terms have been used as synonyms in the literature to indicate this lesion; speckled nevus: nevus on nevus, naevus sur naevus, spotty nevus, speckled lentiginous nevus, speckled zostriform lentiginous nevus, speckled nevus spilus, cafè au lait spot and partial unilateral lentiginosis.NS refers to a more or less circular shaped lesion, a tan to light brown patch of various sizes and sites, either congenital or acquired and characterized by multiple small darker brown macules superimposed, which can be flat or raised and irregular in nature (Figure 1).The histological patterns of the colored base are those of a simple freckle (macula) or cafè-au-lait patch, whilst the spotted lesions are usually made up of junctional, compound, or intradermal nevi.As a rule, NS is not considered a precursor of melanoma, but more than one case has been reported of melanoma arising in NS [1-31].We will analyze the clinical characteristics and the general evolution of NS and the risk factors of turning malignant.

A 73-year-old woman presented with numerous cutaneous neurofibromas on the trunk in a bilateral dermatomal distribution (T2-T12). She also had multiple lentigines scattered on the left side of the trunk, affecting the T2-T12 dermatomes. The diagnosis of bilateral segmental neurofibromatosis (NF) was made on the basis of the clinical features and distribution of the neurofibromas and an absence of family and systemic involvement. The pattern of lentigines was consistent with that of partial unilateral lentiginosis (PUL). Bilateral segmental NF is rare and 15 cases had been reported in the literature so far. This is the first reported case of a patient with bilateral neurofibromas and PUL.
