Hori's nevus, also known as acquired bilateral nevus of Ota-like macules, is a cutaneous condition characterized by multiple brown–gray to brown–blue macules, primarily in the malar region of the face.
The Q-switched 1064 nm Nd-YAG is an ideal choice to treat dermal pigment as in nevus of Ota and in darker skin types, as it reduces the risk of epidermal injury and pigmentary alterations. The pigment clearance can be expected to be near total, using multiple treatment sessions, each separated by a minimum of six weeks.
Targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma manifests as a single, tiny, reddish-violaceous to brown targetoid lesion that can grow centrifugally in the acute phase is encircled by a hemorrhagic halo. [3]
Atypical (dysplastic) nevus: This type of nevus must be diagnosed based on histological features. Clinically, atypical nevi are characterized by variable pigmentation and irregular borders. [5] Becker's nevus; Blue nevus (rarely congenital): A classic blue nevus is usually smaller than 1 cm, flat, and blue-black in color. [6] Hori's nevus
Linear and whorled nevoid hypermelanosis (also known as "Linear nevoid hyperpigmentation," "Progressive cribriform and zosteriform hyperpigmentation," "Reticulate and zosteriform hyperpigmentation," "Reticulate hyperpigmentation of Iijima and Naito and Uyeno," "Zebra-like hyperpigmentation in whorls and streaks," and "Zebra-line hyperpigmentation" [1]) is a disorder of pigmentation that ...
Neurocutaneous melanosis is associated with the presence of either giant congenital melanocytic nevi or non-giant nevi of the skin. It is estimated that neurocutaneous melanosis is present in 2% to 45% of patients with giant congenital melanocytic nevi. Patients with non-giant congenital melanocytic nevi seem to have a much lower, but undefined ...
A connective tissue nevus is a skin lesion which may be present at birth or appear within the first few years of life. It is elevated, soft to firm in consistency, varying in size from 0.5 to several centimeters in diameter, and may manifest as grouped, linear, or irregularly-distributed lesions.
Palisaded encapsulated neuroma (PEN) is a rare, benign cutaneous condition characterized by small, firm, non-pigmented nodules or papules. [1] [2] They typically occur as a solitary (single) lesion near the mucocutaneous junction of the skin of the face, although they can occur elsewhere on the body.
