Blue nevus (also known as "blue neuronevus," "dermal melanocytoma," and "nevus bleu"^[1]) is a type of melanocytic nevus. The blue colour is caused by the pigment being deeper in the skin than in ordinary nevi. In principle they are harmless^[2] but they can sometimes be mimicked by malignant lesions, i.e. some melanomas can look like a blue nevus.^[3]^[4]

Classification

Blue nevi may be divided into the following types:^[5]^:701

A patch blue nevus (also known as an "acquired dermal melanocytosis," and "dermal melanocyte hamartoma") is a cutaneous condition characterized by a diffusely gray-blue area that may have superimposed darker macules.^[1]

A blue nevus of Jadassohn–Tièche (also known as a "common blue nevus," and "nevus ceruleus") is a cutaneous condition characterized by a steel-blue papule or nodule.^[5]^:701

A cellular blue nevus is a cutaneous condition characterized by large, firm, blue or blue-black nodules.^[5]^:701

An epithelioid blue nevus is a cutaneous condition most commonly seen in patients with the Carney complex.^[5]^:701

A deep penetrating nevus is a type of benign melanocytic skin tumor characterized, as its name suggests, by penetration into the deep dermis and/or subcutis. Smudged chromatic is a typical finding. In some cases mitotic figures or atypical melanocytic cytology are seen, potentially mimicking a malignant melanoma. Evaluation by an expert skin pathologist is advisable in some cases to help differentiate from invasive melanoma.^[5]^:701

An amelanotic blue nevus (also known as a "hypomelanotic blue nevus") is a cutaneous condition characterized by mild atypia and pleomorphism.^[5]^:701

A malignant blue nevus is a cutaneous condition characterized by a sheet-like growth pattern, mitoses, necrosis, and cellular atypia.^[1]^[5]^:701

Epithelioid blue nevus
Malignant blue nevus
