A few particular variants are generally accepted as discrete clinicopathological entities. Plaque\u2010type blue nevus (PTBN) is one of the variants of blue nevus. PTBN presents at birth or arises in early childhood, and shows a combination of features found in common blue nevus and cellular blue nevus. In this report, we describe a malignant melanoma arising in association with a PTBN in a 65\u2010year\u2010old male. The tumor appeared as a well circumscribed but partially infiltrative upper\u2010abdominal mass, and was heavily pigmented and consisted of a spindle or epithelioid highly cellular component with mitotic figures and tumor necroses. In the skin around the tumor, multiple pigmented lesions were scattered around the trunk, and these had been recognized since childhood. Histologically, skin lesions showed sparse and wide distribution of the dendritic melanocytes with dense melanin pigments and melanophages between the collagen bundles from the reticular dermis to the abdominal skeletal muscle. We also discuss the histological features and clinical course in our patient in context with previous related literature.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/pin.12000","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,2]],"date-time":"2012-11-02T02:38:47Z","timestamp":1351823927000},"page":"749-753","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Malignant melanoma arising in a plaque\u2010type blue nevus"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"62","author":[{"given":"Sakiko","family":"Sanada","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Koichi","family":"Higaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoshikuni","family":"Torii","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takaya","family":"Higashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rin","family":"Yamaguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yasuhiro","family":"Nakamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hirohisa","family":"Yano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PAP.0b013e3181bb6b53"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"287","DOI":"10.1684\/ejd.2009.0658","article-title":"Large plaque type blue nevus with subcutaneous cellular nodules","volume":"19","author":"Zattra E","year":"2009","journal-title":"Eur J Dermatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PAS.0b013e31825b62ec"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PAS.0b013e3181573aaf"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(194901)2:1<28::AID-CNCR2820020105>3.0.CO;2-N"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","first-page":"761","article-title":"Extensive blue nevus of Jadassohn\u2010Tieche; report of a case","volume":"22","author":"Upshaw BY","year":"1947","journal-title":"Surgery"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/000155502753600957"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000087016"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"587","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1991.04510010155028","article-title":"Congenital appearance of plaque\u2010type blue nevi","volume":"127","author":"Heymann WR","year":"1991","journal-title":"Arch Dermatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-4362.1999.00811.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1976.01630320033008"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2230.2009.03511.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000478-200001000-00011"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/jid.1954.28"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1992.01680140101012"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"629","DOI":"10.1684\/ejd.2009.0756","article-title":"Congenital segmental dermal melanocytosis associated with cellular blue nevus","volume":"19","author":"Wang L","year":"2009","journal-title":"Eur J Dermatol"}],"container-title":["Pathology International"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fpin.12000","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/pin.12000","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,14]],"date-time":"2023-10-14T10:14:12Z","timestamp":1697278452000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/pin.12000"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012,11]]},"references-count":16,"journal-issue":{"issue":"11","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2012,11]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/pin.12000"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/pin.12000","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1320-5463","1440-1827"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1320-5463","type":"print"},{"value":"1440-1827","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012,11]]}}}
