Pathology Outlines
Nevus of Ota
A 38 year old man presented with dark bluish discoloration on the left side of his forehead that progressed to involve the right side. There was pigmentation of the sclera of both eyes. The histopathological picture was compatible with nevus of Ota by presence of elongated dendritic melanocytes scattered with collagen bundles extending around the hair follicles.
