Proliferative nodule in melanocytic nevi mimicking deep penetrating nevus*
نویسندگان
چکیده
Proliferative nodules can occasionally arise on congenital and acquired melanocytic nevi. At first sight their clinical and pathologic features cause alert to both dermatologist and dermatopathologist. However, proliferative nodules are typically benign, regression is common and there is minimum risk of malignization. We present a new case of proliferative nodule in melanocytic nevi with features of deep penetrating nevus.

Linear arrangement of multiple deep penetrating nevi: report of first case and review of literature.
BACKGROUND Deep penetrating nevus is a recently described variant of melanocytic nevi with clinical and histopathological features that may be confused with malignant melanoma, blue nevus, pigmented Spitz nevus, or congenital melanocytic nevus. We report a case with linear arrangement of multiple deep penetrating nevi. To our knowledge, such presentation has never been reported in the literatur...
متن کامل[Proliferative nodule in a congenital melanocytic nevus].
There are several benign lesions that may appear on conventional melanocytic nevi and clinically or histologically simulate malignant transformation while they actually behave in a benign manner.1 These include proliferative nodules, which show a particular tendency to develop on giant congenital melanocytic nevi (although they are also seen on smaller lesions) and, to a lesser degree, on acqui...

Combined melanocytic nevi are composed of 2 or more distinct populations of nevomelanocytes. Most commonly used to describe the combination of blue nevi with common nevi, it may also be applied to other combinations of benign melanocytic proliferations, including Spitz nevi and nevi with deep dermal pigmented nevomelanocytes. We report the incidence and distribution of these tumors at the Massa...
متن کاملProliferation, apoptosis, and survivin expression in a spectrum of melanocytic nevi.
BACKGROUND Apoptosis is important for maintenance of tissue homeostasis and often dysregulated in cutaneous neoplasms. The apoptosis inhibitor survivin is expressed in melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers and benign keratinocytic lesions. Its expression has not been studied in melanocytic nevi. OBJECTIVE We determined the expression pattern of survivin in benign melanocytic nevi in comparis...

Giant congenital melanocytic nevi are rare and occur in about one out of every 2,00,000 to 5,00,000 births. There is a significant association between bathing trunk nevus and neurofibromatosis and lipomatosis. Apart from this, association of bathing trunk nevus with abnormalities like spina bifida occulta, meningocele, club foot and hypertrophy or atrophy of deeper structures of a limb, have be...
