A rare hyalinizing Spitz nevus, a variant of Spitz nevus, was identified in a Korean adolescent. This skin lesion showed specific cellular and stromal characteristics confirmed by immunohistochemistry.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatopathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Spitz nevi are benign melanocytic proliferations that can mimic melanoma.
  • Distinguishing Spitz nevus variants is crucial for accurate diagnosis and patient management.

Observation:

  • A 17-year-old Korean female presented with a reddish-brown papular lesion on her nose.
  • Histopathological examination revealed a hyalinizing Spitz nevus.

Findings:

  • The lesion exhibited a discohesive growth pattern of nevus cells and a hyalinized stroma.
  • Immunohistochemistry showed positive S-100 protein and Vimentin, with negative HMB45, CD68, CEA, and low molecular weight cytokeratin.

Implications:

  • Hyalinizing Spitz nevus may represent a distinct variant within the Spitz nevus spectrum.

  • Accurate histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis is key for classifying this lesion.
  • Further research may clarify the clinical behavior and prognostic implications of hyalinizing Spitz nevi.
