Blue Nevus

Abstract

ABSTRACT
Blue nevi can be described clinically as blue, gray, brown, or black solitary nodules or Histologically, they represent collections of melanocytes and melanophages in the dermis. Blue nevus also termed (nevus blau) was first studied by Tièche, a student of Jadassohn, in 1906. That blue nevi are not recognized more frequently may typically result from their confusion with ordinary pigmented nevi or because of the mistaken diagnosis of malignant melanoma.
Keywords: blue nevi, melanophages, nevus, pigment
