Naevi Spili;Café-Au-Lait Spots and Melanocytic Naevi Aggregated Alongside Blaschko's Lines;with a Review of Segmental Melanocytic Lesions.

Abstract

This is the first case in the literature describing naevi spili;café-au-lait spots and melanocytic naevi aggregated along-side Blaschko's lines. The pattern of melanocytic lesions in our patient is different from the congenital pigmentary syndromes and the segmental distribution of melanocytic naevi;the quadrant distribution of dysplastic naevi or the partial unilateral lentiginosis which here are shortly reviewed. The distribution may be a result of a somatic mutation occurring at an early stage of embryogenesis when neural structures had already been formed.
