Dermal melanocytosis is characterized by the presence of spindle-shaped melanocytes in the dermis. The most common form is Mongolian spots. A 15-month-old girl from Azerbaijan had a systematized dark blue-gray hyperpigmentation on her shoulder, back and extremities. The hyperpigmentation was also found on both sclera and choroidal areas, without any other facial involvement. On histopathological examination, dense melanocytes were found on the intermediate and deep dermis. Her physical and mental development was normal. This association of blue macules and involvement of both sclerae does not represent a distinct entity and cannot be categorized as an example of nevus of Ota.
真皮黑色素细胞增多症的特征是真皮中存在梭形黑色素细胞。最常见的形式是蒙古斑。一名来自阿塞拜疆的 15 个月大女婴的肩部、背部和四肢出现系统性深蓝色灰黑色色素沉着。巩膜和脉络膜区域也发现有色素沉着,但没有涉及到面部其他部位。组织病理学检查发现中、深层真皮有密集的黑色素细胞。她的身心发育正常。这种蓝色斑片的联合以及巩膜的受累并不代表一个独特的实体,也不能归类为大田母斑的一个例子。
