Published: August 2012

Some types of melanocytic nevi are seldom mentioned in the literature and are therefore less well known. In the current study, we focus on the concepts of eponyms, synonyms, clinical presentation, and morphology of the following types: Meyerson nevus, cockarde (or cockade) nevus, Hori nevus, Sun nevus, Hidanos nevus, Duperrat nevus, Spark nevus, nevus spilus, eclipse nevus, Kerl nevus, and Kopf nevus.

Spatial transcriptomics (ST) offers enormous potential to decipher the biological and pathological heterogeneity in precious archival cancer tissues. Traditionally, these tissues have rarely been used and only examined at a low throughput, most commonly by histopathological staining. ST adds thousands of times as many molecular features to histopathological images, but critical technical issues and limitations require more assessment of how ST performs on fixed archival tissues.

Nevus sebaceous (NS) is a congenital hamartoma characterized by the presence of skin structures, including the epidermis, sebaceous glands, and hair follicles. NS predominantly occurs on the scalp and has the potential to give rise to secondary tumors, with a small proportion being malignant; the most frequently observed malignant tumor associated with NS is basal cell carcinoma. In this report, we retrospectively present four cases of sebaceous nevus on the scalp complicated by basal cell carcinoma.
