Abstract:
We report herein a case of dysplastic nevus, which developed on the snterior chest and abdomen in a 48-year-old American Catholic priest. Clinical features present as brownish to pinkish patches with irreguar border fading into surrounding skin, ranging from 0.5 to 1.5cm in diameter. Histopathological findings show disordered proliferation of slightly atypical melanocytes in the epidermis and fusing of epidermal rete ridges, concentric eosinophilic fibrosis along elongated rete ridges, lymphohistiocytic infiltration in the dermis, and extension of intraepidermal melanocytic hyperplasia beyond the shoulders of dermal nevus component. One year follow-up revealed no evidence of recurrence.
