Ub. Hofmann et al., CONGENITAL UNILATERAL SPECKLED LENTIGINOUS BLUE NEVI WITH ASYMMETRIC SPINAL MUSCULAR-ATROPHY, Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 39(2), 1998, pp. 326-329
We describe a 30-year-old man presenting with congenital widespread un
ilateral hyperpigmented areas on the right side of the face and limbs
that were studded with multiple blue nevi. There was nevus of Ota-like
scleral involvement of the right eye. Histologic examination showed c
ommon blue nevi, one in association with lentigo. For this unusual typ
e of dermal melanocytosis we propose the term, congenital unilateral s
peckled lentiginous blue nevi. In addition, the patient had monomelic
spinal muscular atrophy of his right shoulder girdle and arm.
