Abstract
- Nevus cell nevus in bone has been called osteo-nevus of Nanta since Nanta reported it in detail in 1911. We report a 46-year-old female patient with osteo-nevus of Nanta on her forehead. Histologic examination revealed nests of nevus cells, with numerous osteocytes and osteoblasts in the bony tissue. Inflammatory cell infiltrate and foreign body granuloma were not found.
