title: Coincidence of multiple, disseminated, tardive-eruptive blue nevi with cutis marmorata teleangiectatica congenita.
abstract: A 71-year-old woman reported a slow progression of multiple bluish dark asymptomatic macules and papules on the pretibial region of both lower legs for over 30 years. At birth a left-sided hypoplasia of the leg including the buttock accompanied by a connatal vascular nevus had been diagnosed. The ipsilateral deep veins of the pelvis and leg had a normal anlage. Histopathological examination revealed multiple blue nevi of the common type. The association of multiple blue nevi and cutis marmorata teleangiectatica congenita with limb hypoplasia has not previously been reported and is discussed in this paper. One could speculate whether these symptoms represent a new syndrome, because by thorough examination the NAME syndrome could be ruled out.
