Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Dermatopathology

Background:

  • Malignant blue nevus is a rare and aggressive form of melanocytic tumor.
  • Metastasis to lymph nodes presents a significant challenge in pediatric oncology.

Observation:

  • A 6-year-old boy presented with a malignant blue nevus.
  • The tumor had metastasized to the lymph nodes.

Findings:

  • Surgical resection was performed under conditions typically used for melanoma.
  • Adjuvant interferon therapy was administered post-surgery.
  • Two-year follow-up revealed no evidence of disease recurrence.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the successful multimodal treatment of a rare pediatric malignancy.
  • Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes in malignant blue nevus.
  • Interferon therapy may play a role in managing pediatric malignant blue nevus with lymph node involvement.
