J Cutan Pathol. 2018 Jun;45(6):439-442. doi: 10.1111/cup.13134. Epub 2018 Apr 2.

Abstract

Perineuriomatous differentiation in solitary cutaneous melanocytic nevi has been described. We present an unusual case of a patient with multiple such perineuriomatous nevi. This presentation raises the possibility that a germline mutation may be responsible for the pathogenesis of these unusual lesions.

Keywords: multiple; nevus; perineurioma; perineuriomatous.
