| Abstract: | The subject of this chapter includes blue nevi and related proliferations of melanocytes, usually dendritic or spindled, primarily involving the reticular dermis. The nomenclature for this group of lesions is in part related to their clinical description (blue nevus) and/or distinct histopathological characteristics (cellular blue nevus). They share a mutation profile: mutations involving GNA11/GNAQ are common in this group of lesions [1, 2]. © 2014 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. All rights are reserved. |
