Abstract

Background: Divided nevus, also known as “kissing nevus,” is a rare form of congenital melanocytic nevus that occurs on opposing margins of upper and lower eyelids. A paucity of literature on this rare anomaly exists, with most being case reports and series. Moreover, regression of this lesion was rarely reported. Case Illustration: We present a rare case of congenital divided nevus of the eyelid that regressed after eight years, confirmed with dermoscopy. A six-year-old boy presented to the Dharmais National Cancer Hospital with two pigmented macules on the upper and lower right eyelid since birth. A year ago, the lesions started gradually disappearing and were replaced by a hypopigmented area. We evaluated the clinical and dermoscopic findings for two consecutive years. The dermoscopy showed pseudopigment networks, surrounded by a hypopigmented area resembling a halo. The pigmented lesions cleared with no residual lesions. Discussion: The dermoscopic findings of the patient resemble a solar lentigo characterized by pseudopigment networks, a feature caused by the relatively flattened rete ridge on the face. The hypopigmented area reflects a regression process, like the halo nevus, and is accompanied by leukotrichia of the eyelashes, a feature usually found in patients with vitiligo. Regression of the divided nevus is related to an autoimmune process. A similar mechanism was also found in vitiligo. Since no atypical findings were present in this patient, we recommend only observation. Conclusion: Divided nevus is a rare case. We present a case of congenital divided nevus of the eyelid that regressed spontaneously. Clinical and dermoscopic findings of hypopigmented regression area were similar with vitiligo, which might share similar pathological mechanisms.

Abstract

Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common cutaneous malignancy. It usually arises in sun-exposed areas of the body, with the face and neck being the most common sites for BCC. BCC is typically found in older individuals, but it is becoming more prevalent in people younger than 50. However, such cases in children under 15 are rarely encountered. Pigmented BCC is a common presentation in people of color, while such presentation is relatively unusual in Caucasians. Pediatric cases could be idiopathic, but it is more commonly associated with a genetic defect, such as basal cell nevus syndrome, xeroderma pigmentosum, Bazex syndrome, and albinism. Those cases could also arise from a congenital lesion, e.g., nevus sebaceous, radiotherapy-related, or solid organ transplant. Case Illustration: We present the case of a 14-year-old boy with a chief complaint of growing tumor on the left cheek since he was 8 years old. He was diagnosed with childhood-onset BCC based on the findings of dermoscopy and skin biopsy. The patient underwent surgical excision of the lesion with 3 mm margins and a full-thickness skin graft obtained from the left retroauricular area. Discussion: Removal of the tumor with clear margins remains the gold standard for BCC treatment. This case presentation showed the best practice for BCC cases in the childhood population. Conclusion: The diagnosis of BCC should not be neglected in the childhood population.
