HistoryThis section has been translated automatically.

Ota, 1947

DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

Very rare (about 250 cases have been described), combination of an extensive vascular nevus with an extensive melanocytic nevus, in which the common occurrence is not a coincidence but an entity.

ClassificationThis section has been translated automatically.

  • Type I: Nevus flammeus combined with Nevus pigmentosus verrucosus
  • Type II: Nevus flammeus combined with mongol stain (dermal melanocytosis)
  • Type III: Nevus flammeus combined with Nevus spilus
  • Type IV: Nevus flammeus combined with Nevus spilus and Mongolian stain, possibly also Nevus anaemicus.

In types II, III and IV a naevus anaemicus may be associated. A further classification of the individual types according to a) and b) is made depending on whether a) exclusively cutaneous or b) also additional systemic involvement, e.g. dysplasia of larger vessels (e.g. V. cava), is present.

EtiopathogenesisThis section has been translated automatically.

Genodermatosis with sporadic occurrence. It was assumed that this phacomatosis is based on a nonallelic didymosis ( twin spotting). However, it has been shown that in another form of twin spotting(phacomatosis pigmentokeratotica) a somatic HRAS mutation in an early progenitor cell leads to a differentiation of different tissue types.

Clinical featuresThis section has been translated automatically.

Interindividually variable combination of nevus spilus, mongoloid stain, nevus flammeus, possibly associated defects of other organs
