Abstract

Benign pigmented lesions derived from dermal melanocytes include the Mongolian spot, the nevi of Ota and Ito, and the blue nevus. The nevus of Ito differs from the nevus of Ota by its location in the supraclavicular, scapular and deltoid regions. It occurs rarely in association with bilateral nevus of Ota. We present a 70 years old male, showing extensive involvement of dermal melanocytic nevi, so called bilateral nevus of Ota associated with bilateral nevus of Ito.
