摘要
We present an unusual case of a nevus of the nipple changing during pregnancy which caused a diagnostic pitfall. Nevi on the nipple and areola are infrequent, and diagnostic criteria for clinical, dermoscopy or reflectance confocal microscopy examination for nevi in this 'special location' are still missing. We comment on the literature on dermo-scopic findings in mammary lesions and their management during pregnancy, as well as the challenging histopathology of nevi along the milk line. Finally, we focus on two main limitations of reflectance confocal microscopy: the misinterpretation of dendritic cells and the limitat on of the imaging depth. Copyright (C) 2010 S. Karger AG, Basel
