Deltoideoacromial nevus D22.5

• Harmless, congenital, mostly large-area, in Asia frequent, in Caucasians rare, in the breast-shoulder region localized, symptomless, dermal melanocytosis with grey-blue discoloration of the skin. The nevus fuscocoeruleus deltoideoacromialis is to be understood as the counterpart of the Mongolian spot.

• S.a. Naevus fuscocoeruleus ophthalmomaxillaris; s.a. Mongolian stain.

Therapy is not necessary. If necessary, cover the discoloration of the skin for cosmetic reasons (e.g. Dermacolor).

Unchanged persistence. Melanoma development is described in individual cases. In this respect the naevus fuscocoeruleus deltoideoacromialis differs prognostically from the Mongolian spot.
