Halo nevus is a benign type of melanocytic nevi commonly found in children and manifests as a central pigmented part surrounded by a well-defined hypopigmented area. Halo nevi are commonly located on the trunk. The central nevus may show partial or complete regression, whereas the associated halo may persist or enlarge. The term 'agminated nevus' refers to a cluster of melanocytic nevi restricted to an area of the body and commonly reported with acquired melanocytic nevi, blue nevi, and Spitz nevi. To the best of our knowledge, agminated halo nevus has not been previously described. We hereby report 2 cases with clinical and histopathologic findings consistent with the diagnosis of agminated halo nevus.
晕痣是一种常见于儿童的良性黑素细胞痣,表现为中央色素沉着部分被边界清晰的色素减退区域所环绕。晕痣通常位于躯干。中央痣可能会出现部分或完全消退,而相关的晕环可能持续存在或扩大。“簇状痣”一词指的是局限于身体某一部位的一群黑素细胞痣,常见于后天性黑素细胞痣、蓝痣和斯皮茨痣。据我们所知,此前尚未有簇状晕痣的相关描述。我们在此报告2例临床和组织病理学表现符合簇状晕痣诊断的病例。
