Abstract :
A 24-year-old woman presented with asymptomatic
hyperpigmented bilateral patches on her temples, eyelids and
forehead since birth. Furthermore, the patient had a congenital
grey patch, compatible with Mongolian spot, on her buttock.
She had no vascular or other cutaneous lesion. Histopathologic
examination revealed bipolar dendritic melanocytes dispersed in a ribbon-like pattern between the collagen fibers and around the neurovascular bundles of the dermis. As far as we know, this is the first case of bilateral “congenital” nevus of Ota in association with a Mongolian spot reported in a patient.
