“…Nevus fusco-caeruleus zygomaticus 3 and acquired circumscribed dermal facial melanocytoses 4 are alternate designations routinely encountered in the literature for this entity. Clinically, ABNOM is characterized by multiple speckled blue-brown and/or slate-gray macules occurring bilaterally on the malar regions or less commonly forehead, upper eyelids, and cheeks and nose (Fig 1).…”

“…The latter is an acquired dermal facial melanocytoses mostly observed in Asian women and in people with dark skin after the third decade of life (16,17). The features of ABNOM are peculiar with small, bilateral, blue-brown, gray patches located preferentially on the malar regions or less frequently on the forehead, upper eyelids, cheeks and nose.…”

Background: Naevus of Ota, also called naevus fusculocoeruleus ophtalmomaxillaris, belongs to the group of dermal melanocytoses. It typically occurs in the Asian population, and it is extremely rare in Caucasians. The management of naevus of Ota has been challenging. Observation: We report a Caucasian patient presenting with a bilateral naevus of Ota which was successfully treated using a Q-Switched (QS) Nd: YAG 1064 laser. We further review the various available therapeutic options as well as the results obtained with various laser types, including the QS Nd: YAG 1064 and 532 nm, the QS ruby 694 nm and the QS alexandrite 755 nm lasers. Conclusion: Based on the remarkable clinical improvement observed in our case and previous reports, Q-Switched lasers currently represent the treatment of choice for the naevus of Ota. Development of picosecond techno logy in laser medicine has opened a new perspective for the treatment of Ota.

“…For example, melanocytes can be found by electron microscopy in the lumbosacral region in most white children but are not clinically visible because they contain inactive, incompletely melanized melanosomes. 1,34 We hypothesize that the progressive DM in cases of LySD results from a similar mechanism as that of its congenital counterpart, in which metabolite-Trk binding serves as a trigger to the melanin-synthesizing pathways of dormant melanocytes.…”
