Preferred Label : Blue nevi, familial multiple;
Type : Other, mainly phenotypes with suspected mendelian basis;
Description : The common blue nevus of Jadassohn-Tieche most frequently presents as a solitary blue
1- to 10-mm dome-shaped papule on the dorsal hand or foot. It is characterized by
greatly elongated wavy groups of spindled dermal melanocytes that are oriented parallel
to the epidermis. Cellular blue nevi resemble common blue nevi clinically but are
usually larger, ranging from 1 to 3 cm in diameter, and occur primarily on the buttocks
or sacrum as a solitary blue nodule (summary by Knoell et al., 1998).;
