Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Medical Case Reports
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Congenital nevi are benign melanocytic tumors present at birth.
  • Agminated segmental nevi represent a rare subtype, characterized by clustered lesions following Blaschko's lines.
  • Understanding the etiology and presentation of these nevi is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • A 39-year-old woman presented with agminated segmental nevi on the right side of her face.
  • The nevi were noted at birth.
  • No other congenital abnormalities were reported in the patient.

Findings:

  • The case highlights a unilateral facial distribution of agminated segmental nevi.
  • The absence of associated anomalies is a key finding.
  • This presentation contributes to the spectrum of congenital melanocytic nevus variations.

Implications:

  • This case adds to the literature on rare presentations of congenital nevi.
  • Further research may elucidate the genetic or developmental factors underlying segmental nevi.
  • Accurate diagnosis and monitoring are essential for managing patients with extensive or uniquely distributed nevi.
