title: Systematized progradient multiple combined melanocytic and blue nevus.
abstract: A 44-year-old woman was diagnosed as having unilateral multiple progradient pigmented macules and papules of the upper extremity and adjacent part of the back. Microscopically increased amounts of melanin and melanocytes in the basal layer of the epidermis in the early developmental stage of macules were seen. Combinations of blue nevus with junctional or compound nevus or with a simple proliferation of melanocytes in the epidermis were present in the papules. The question of prognosis is discussed.
