Nevus Spilus With Dermatoheliosis: A Histologic Mimicker of Melanoma in Situ at Melanoma Excision Margins
AMERICAN JOURNAL OF DERMATOPATHOLOGY(2023)
摘要
Nevus spilus, or speckled lentiginous nevus, is a relatively common lesion that presents at birth or in early childhood. It consists of a background tan patch, which appears similar to a cafe au lait macule or lentigo simplex on histology, studded with various types of nevi. Rarely, these nevi can undergo malignant transformation to melanoma. When melanoma develops within a heavily photodamaged nevus spilus, evaluating excision margins may be challenging because the combined histologic features of nevus spilus and severe dermatoheliosis can mimic melanoma in situ. We report a case of an elderly man with extensive sun damage who developed malignant melanoma within an occult nevus spilus, resulting in multiple excisions with false-positive margins.
