title: A combination of speckled lentiginous nevus with patch-type blue nevus.
abstract: A peculiar case of "nevus on nevus" was reported. A 67-year-old man had had a pigmented lesion in the left hypochondrial area since birth. The clinicopathologic findings of the pigmented lesion revealed a combination of speckled lentiginous nevus and patch-type blue nevus. This case of "nevus on nevus" is not described under the term of combined nevus as is current in the literature; it was considered to be a subtype of the type II atypical blue nevus described by Kawamura.
