  • Title: Compound nevus with congenital features and balloon cell changes--an immunohistochemical study.
    Author: Cagnano E, Benharroch D, Sion-Vardy N.
    Journal: Ann Diagn Pathol; 2008 Oct; 12(5):362-4. PubMed ID: 18774500.
    Abstract:
    Balloon cell nevi and balloon cell changes in nevi have rarely been reported in the literature. We describe a compound nevus showing focal balloon cell changes in a 20-year-old man. The melanocytic nature of the balloon cells is confirmed by an immunohistochemical study. The findings are compared with those in balloon cell melanomas.
