  • Title: Congenital melanocytic nevi with halo phenomenon: report of two cases and a review of the literature.
    Author: Langer K, Konrad K.
    Journal: J Dermatol Surg Oncol; 1990 Apr; 16(4):377-80. PubMed ID: 2182687.
    Abstract:
    Verrucous congenital nevocellular nevi surrounded by a depigmented halo occurring in a 7-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl were excised and the wounds closed primarily. Histopathologic studies revealed a striking arrangement of the inflammatory infiltrate in these halo nevi. A dense, band-like, lymphohistiocytic infiltrate was found only around and intermingled with A- and B-type nevomelanocytes in the upper dermis, whereas inflammatory infiltrates were completely absent from type C-nevomelanocytes in the lower parts of the reticular dermis. The literature is reviewed with particular consideration of congenital halo nevi.
