Blue nevi and variants: an update.

Archives of pathology & laboratory medicine - 1 Mar 2011

Zembowicz Artur, Phadke Pushkar A

Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT: Blue nevi are a subset of melanocytic proliferations containing cells reminiscent of the embryonal neural crest-derived dendritic melanocytic precursors. They are common specimens in a general pathology practice, but some of their rare variants may pose diagnostic difficulty. Recent molecular studies provide new insights into genetics of blue nevi. OBJECTIVE: To critically review clinical and histologic...
