  • Title: Mummified ossified melanocytic naevus.
    Author: Kanitakis J, Claudy A.
    Journal: Eur J Dermatol; 2000 Aug; 10(6):466-7. PubMed ID: 10980470.
    Abstract:
    Ossification rarely occurs within melanocytic naevi. As far as we know, mummification (presence of shadow cells) has never been described within these lesions. We report herein the case of a benign naevus associating ossification and mummification; this case suggests that, similarly to pilomatricomas, osteoma formation within melanocytic naevi may develop as a result of mummification.
