Divided Nevus Spilus and Divided Form of Spotted Grouped Pigmented Nevus

Abstract

Two [human] cases of divided venus spilus and a case of divided form of spotted grouped pigmented nevus are reported. In this group, flat melanotic macules around the eyes were located on the opposite parts of the upper and lower eyelids. The macules were divided by the palpebral fissure when the lids were open, and the 2 halves of the lesions formed a unit when the lids were closed. Case presentation as such may be intriguing in the clarification of the developmental relation between aberrantly differentiated melanin-synthesizing cells and normal melanocytes.
