Abstract
|
|
|
|
Epithelioid blue nevus is a rare variant of blue nevus that was first described in patients with Carney complex, a familial lentiginosis and multiorgan neoplasm (spotty cutaneous pigmentation, cutaneous/cardiac/mammary myxomas, endocrine overactivity, and psammomatous melanotic schwannomas). Epithelioid blue nevus is an intradermal melanocytic nevus composed of heavily pigmented globular and polygonal cells and lightly pigmented spindle and dendritic cells. Recently, cases of epithelioid blue nevi have been reported in patients without Carney complex. Herein, we describe a child who developed epithelioid blue nevus on her right foot without Carney complex symptoms and review the relevant literature.
