Phacomatosis pigmentovascularis is a rare syndrome, defined as the simultaneous presence of vascular nevus and melanocytic nevus in the same patient. We report the case of a 53-year-old woman presented with dermal melanosis and extensive vascular nevus, which match the typical manifestations of phakomatosis pigmetovascularis of cesioflammea type, according to Happle's classification. The rare o...

Nevus of Ota (nevus fuscoceruleus ophthalmomaxillaris) is a benign dermal melanocytic hematoma clinically appearing as a bluish-brown discoloration in the ophthalmic and/or maxillary branches of the trigeminal nerve. The condition first described by Ota and Tanino occurs predominantly in Asians with estimated frequency of 0.014% to 0.034%, but can be found in other ethnicities. Historical thera...

Melanocytic nevus is common pigmented skin tumor, but it has rare occurrence near the external auditory canal. A skin graft is required if a wide surgical excision is performed for the nevi occurring near the external auditory canal. A CO2 laser was considered to be a good alternative for the removal of melanocytic nevus in this area. We herein report a case of compound nevus occurring near the...

Giant congenital melanocytic nevus is usually defined as a melanocytic lesion present at birth that will reach a diameter ≥ 20 cm in adulthood. Its incidence is estimated in <1:20,000 newborns. Despite its rarity, this lesion is important because it may associate with severe complications such as malignant melanoma, affect the central nervous system (neurocutaneous melanosis), and have major ps...

The presentation herewith as scripted is to describe a case with Nevus sebaceous with oral manifestations. Nevus Sebaceous or Jadassohn's nevus is an epidermal nevus with predominant sebaceous glands seen histologically. Reports of oral involvement have been few ranging from papillomatous growths of the tongue, gingiva, palate to dental abnormalities such as anodontia and dysodontia. The presen...

A giant congenital melanocytic nevus represents a rare condition. The halo phenomenon may be seen in congenital or acquired melanocytic nevi. In the literature, association of halo nevus and giant congenital melanocytic nevus is rare and the association of both with vitiligo even more rare. A 75-yearold woman at first consultation complained of a hyperchromic bluish-brown hairy macula on the lo...

We present what is believed to be the first report of heterogeneous carcinoma arising from breast ductal adenoma. A 57-year-old woman presented with a nodule in her right breast. Histological examination of a vacuum-assisted biopsy specimen revealed epithelial tubular proliferation and papillary apocrine epithelium. The myoepithelial cells lining the tubules were confirmed by immunohistochemist...

A 10-year-old female miniature poodle had a mass in its carpal joint of the left forelimb. The tumor was divided into small multiple lobules by delicate connective tissues, and necroses were found in some of the central lobules. In some connective stromal areas, chondroid and osteoid tissues were formed. The tumor cells were similar to the structure of apocrine gland epithelial cells with apica...
