Agminated Blue Nevus: Two Case Reports and a Mini-review of the Literature

Acta Dermatovenerol Croat. 2016 Apr;24(1):37-41.

Abstract

Agminated blue nevus (ABN) is a melanocytic nevus rarely mentioned in the literature and not well known. The term agminated is used when many blue nevi are clustered together in a sharply demarcated area ≤10 cm. Specific dermatoscopic features have not currently been clearly defined. We describe two cases of ABN and provide a review of the literature, reporting the main points in order to facilitate the diagnosis of this rare entity.
