| Treatment required removing the nevus and resurfacing the child's body with skin grafts. |
|
| Sebaceous nevus is a congenital lesion made up of excessive sebaceous glands and malformed hair follicles. |
|
| The most predictive features for melanoma development are a history of change in an existing nevus or a new and changing pigmented lesion. |
|
| In other types, such as the blue nevus, proliferative tissue is buried deep within the dermis, the lower layer of the skin. |
|
| However, the pathology of Spitz nevus is misleading, consisting of spindle and epithelioid nevus cells, some of which may be atypical. |
|
| A common genetic abnormality is the nevus, often called a mole or birthmark. |
|
| Although pigmented nevi are among the most common of these skin growths, other varieties of nevus are also known. |
|
| In nevus anemicus, an area of skin is pale because of reduced blood flow, even though there is no evidence of a structural disorder. |
|
| This is useful for recognizing important details like a change in the shape of a nevus. |
|
| The identification of the nevus and its position is assured by the body-map and the full-body images. |
|
| One of the most important warning signs for melanoma is rapid change in a nevus or the appearance of a new black lesion. |
|
| The 1 case in which nuclear expression was observed was reported as a junctional dysplastic nevus. |
|
| Although the clinical appearance and recent growth are characteristic of a Spitz nevus, histologic examination must be done to confirm the clinical diagnosis. |
|
| They concluded that PHH3 and Ki-67 can be useful adjuncts to histopathology to separate malignant melanoma from benign nevus. |
|
| Epidermal nevi, of which the sebaceous nevus is an example, develop from the proliferation of normal epidermal tissues and are usually flesh-coloured or yellowish. |
|
| Melanocytic nevus with atypical dermoscopic features at the site of radiodermatitis. |
|
| The patient was a 7-year-old boy who was scheduled to undergo keloplasty for resection of a nevus sebaceous of the right ear. |
|
| A blue nevus is an acquired, benign, firm, dark-blue to gray-to-black, sharply defined papule or nodule representing a localized proliferation of melanin-producing dermal melunocylcs. |
|
| Removing the nevus does not cause the halo portion to get darker. For this reason, removal can cause a noticeable scar in an area of lighter skin color. |
|
| Because of the presence of architectural maturation and fibrotic surrounding stroma, nevoid melanoma may also resemble hyalinizing Spitz nevus. |
