Hyalinizing Spitz nevus

M W Lee et al. J Dermatol. 2000 Apr.

Abstract

A seventeen-year-old Korean girl had a reddish-brown papular lesion on the nose. Histopathologically, it proved to be a "hyalinizing Spitz nevus" with the characteristic features of a discohesive growth pattern of nevus cells and hyalinized stroma. Immunohistochemical stains showed positive reactivity of nevus cells with S-100 protein and Vimentin and negative stainings with HMB45, CD68, CEA and low molecular weight cytokeratin. Hyalinizing Spitz nevus may represent a variant in the spectrum of Spitz nevus.
