Blue nevus.
Dermal melanocytes are generally most numerous in the sacral, dorsal hand, and dorsal foot. There is also a slight rise that often occurs toward the axial line of the trunk. The practitioner needs to be aware and take necessary measures to properly diagnose the blue nevus from other forms of pigmented skin lesion. The authors believe that surgical excision with proper pathologic follow-up is the preferred treatment.
