Congenital plaque-type glomuvenous malformation (GVM) is caused by loss of function mutations in glomulin gene. We report a newborn with this rare vascular disorder associated with chylous ascites. The common mesenchymal origin of GVM and lymphatic vessels as well as the glomulin expression in vascular smooth muscle cells in utero could help explain this unusual prenatal complication of glomuvenous malformations.

A Persistent Dark Macule on the Hand of a Hispanic Patient.

Article Synopsis
- A 38-year-old Hispanic man visited a dermatology clinic for a dark macule on his left hand that he'd had since childhood, which was growing but asymptomatic, and had no other skin lesions.
- A biopsy showed spindle-shaped cells with melanin granules consistent with acquired dermal melanocytosis (ADM), a rare and benign skin condition characterized by the presence of melanocytes in the dermis.
- The patient was informed about the benign nature of ADM and chose not to pursue any treatment, noting that few cases of this specific hand presentation have been reported.

Aims: Plaque-type blue naevi are rare melanocytic tumours presenting as large, pigmented plaques at birth or during childhood. There is a risk for malignant transformation, but no larger comprehensive studies exist and the diagnosis is challenging, especially on limited biopsy material. The aim is to describe the clinicopathological features and behaviour of the disease more comprehensively.

Ethnicity, genetics, and environmental variables all have a role in determining the disease's prevalence.

Plaque-type blue nevus is a rare variant of blue nevi that was first described in 1954. This article presents clinical, macroscopic, histopathological, and genetic findings for a case of large plaque-type blue nevus expanding into the mammary gland tissue as well as the skin of the right breast. A 63-year-old woman presented with a congenital, large, blue-colored macule limited to the hypochondriac area of the right breast.
