Abstract:

Blue nevi rarely appear in a plaque form. Because of their rarity and unusual clinical appearance, these nevi may present a diagnostic problem. We described a large plaque-type blue nevus measuring about 9 x 6 cm on the right cheek of a 22-year-old man. It was characterized by several dark-blue macules and papules with intervening areas of faint blue discoloration. Excision of this unusual plaque-type blue nevus with reconstruction using tissue expander was performed successfully. A 6-year postoperative follow-up revealed satisfactory results.
