Abstract:
A case of stromal melanosis of the prostate gland is reported. Ultrastructurally, dendritic processes and melanosomes, but no basal lamina were observed in melanin-containing cells. In similar cases, characterized by the diffuse distribution of stromal pigmented melanocytes, the term 'pigmented melanocytosis' rather than 'blue nevus' appears more appropriate.
