  • Spontaneous Regression of Divided Nevus of the Eyelid Evaluated by Dermoscopy Leaving a Hypopigmented Lesion
    Case Report Spontaneous regression of divided nevus of the eyelid evaluated by dermoscopy leaving a hypopigmented lesion Danang Tri Wahyudi1, Izzah Aulia2, Aida S.D. Hoemardani1, Agassi Suseno Sutarjo1 1. Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Dharmais National Cancer Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia 2. Department of Dermatology and Venereology Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia/ Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National Central General Hospital Jakarta, Indonesia Email: [email protected] Abstract Background: Divided nevus, also known as “kissing nevus,” is a rare form of congenital melanocytic nevus that occurs on opposing margins of upper and lower eyelids. A paucity of literature on this rare anomaly exists, with most being case reports and series. Moreover, regression of this lesion was rarely reported. Case Illustration: We present a rare case of congenital divided nevus of the eyelid that regressed after eight years, confirmed with dermoscopy. A siX-year-old boy presented to the Dharmais National Cancer Hospital with two pigmented macules on the upper and lower right eyelid since birth. A year ago, the lesions started gradually disappearing and were replaced by a hypopigmented area. We evaluated the clinical and dermoscopic findings for two consecutive years. The dermoscopy showed pseudopigment networks, surrounded by a hypopigmented area resembling a halo. The pigmented lesions cleared with no residual lesions. Discussion: The dermoscopic findings of the patient resemble a solar lentigo characterized by pseudopigment networks, a feature caused by the relatively flattened rete ridge on the face. The hypopigmented area reflects a regression process, like the halo nevus, and is accompanied by leukotrichia of the eyelashes, a feature usually found in patients with vitiligo.

  • Photo Diagnosis
    Photo Diagnosis Illustrated quizzes on problems seen in everyday practice Case 1 An 11-year-old boy presents with pain over the left clavicle after falling from an eight-foot high ladder and landing on a outstretched left hand. Questions 1. What is the diagnosis? 2. What is the significance? Answers 1. Fractured left clavicle. 2. The majority of clavicular fractures heal spontaneously through callus formation. Immobilization of the affected arm for pain control can be easily and effectively accomplished by an arm sling. A figure-of-eight splint offers no advantage over the sling and can be uncomfortable for some children. Inappropriate use of the splint may occasionally even lead to edema of the ipsilateral upper limb, compression of axillary vessels and brachial plexopathy. Provided by Dr. Alexander K.C. Leung; and Dr. Justine H.S. Fong, Calgary, Alberta. Share your photos and diagnoses with us! Do you have a photo diagnosis?
