Monozygotic twins discordant for phacomatosis pigmentovascularis: evidence for the concept of twin spotting.

American journal of medical genetics. Part A - 1 Mar 2010

Abstract excerpt

The term phacomatosis pigmentovascularis (PPV) refers to the occurrence of vascular nevi with melanocytic or epidermal nevi. We report on monozygotic twins (MZTs) discordant for phacomatosis cesioflammea (PPV type II) providing evidence for the mechanism of twin spotting in the development of PPV. The affected twin had a nevus flammeus on the right arm and the right maxilla, and a pigmented area on the trunk in...
