Abstract:
A 50-year-old Japanese man had a blue-black patch on the dorsum of his right wrist. Light and electron microscopic study of the lesion revealed dermal melanocytes containing mature melanosomes, predominantly in the upper dermis. This case was diagnosed as acquired dermal melanocytosis confined to the right wrist.
