Atypical cellular blue nevus, a rare skin condition, presents intermediate features between benign and malignant nevi. This case highlights a unique presentation and successful surgical management of this rare entity.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatopathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Atypical cellular blue nevus exhibits features between typical cellular blue nevus and malignant blue nevus.
  • These lesions often display bizarre, pleomorphic cells with prominent nucleoli.

Observation:

  • A 37-year-old Korean woman presented with a 17-year-old asymptomatic pedunculated mass on her right thigh.
  • Skin biopsy revealed a dermal tumor with intensely pigmented dendritic cells and less or nonpigmented epithelioid cells exhibiting striking atypia.

Findings:

  • The diagnosis of atypical cellular blue nevus was confirmed through clinical and histopathological examination.
  • No recurrence was observed 3 years post-surgery, indicating successful treatment.

Implications:

  • This case contributes to understanding the clinical and histological spectrum of atypical cellular blue nevus.
