Abstract

Abstract: Amelanotic/hypomelanotic variant of cellular blue naevus (CBN) can present a challenge for the clinician and histopathologist. We report a case of amelanotic/hypomelanotic variant of CBN that presented as a painless scrotal swelling in a child. We review the literature on amelanotic/hypomelanotic CBN, the key histological features and important differential diagnoses.
