Congenital unilateral speckled lentiginous blue nevi with asymmetric spinal muscular atrophy.
We describe a 30-year-old man presenting with congenital widespread unilateral hyperpigmented areas on the right side of the face and limbs that were studded with multiple blue nevi. There was nevus of Ota-like scleral involvement of the right eye. Histologic examination showed common blue nevi, one in association with lentigo. For this unusual type of dermal melanocytosis we propose the term, congenital unilateral speckled lentiginious blue nevi. In addition, the patient had monomelic spinal muscular atrophy of his right shoulder girdle and arm.
