Abstract
An 18 mo. old infant had diffuse, gray-blue pigmentation on the buttocks bilaterally, extending the entire length of his right leg in a dermatomal pattern. In the lesion, there were several conspicuous macules of considerably darker hue. Histologic and ultrastructural examinations revealed numerous dermal melanocytes. Clinically and pathologically, the patient had a distinctive type of dermal melanocytosis for which the name dermal melanocyte hamartoma is proposed.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
