Abstract

Ota nevus is a dermal melanocytic harmatoma derived from neural crest melanoblast and involves skin innervated by the trigeminal nerve. Although most cases are clinically apparent at birth or around puberty, acquired lesions in adults have been rarely reported. We reported a 73 year-old Korean man with Ota nevus of the face and scalp that onset in his eighth decade and accompanied multiple solar comedo of the face.
