Abstract
We report on nine cases of cellular blue naevi with distinctive arrang ement of cells into the microalveolar pattern. This microalveolar patt ern was usually seen in the deeper parts of cellular blue naevi and wa s composed of a few epithelioid cells surrounded by bipolar dendritic pigmented cells. This unusual pattern often reminded of incipient mali gnant change within cellular blue naevi.
