BACKGROUND: Characterization of nevi involution could help to understand the biological behaviour of melanocytic neoplasms.
OBJECTIVE: To describe the frequency and morphology of naevus involution in a series of patients with atypical naevus syndrome under digital follow-up with a SIAscopy program and, in a small sample of fading nevi, to analyse histopathological features and immunohistochemical biomarkers.
METHODS: Seventy-four patients registered from April 2007 to July 2014 in the SIAscopy system of the Department of Dermatology of Hospital Arnau de Vilanova of Lleida, Spain, were reviewed. Fourteen naevus cases with fading features were prospectively excised during follow-up. Eleven already excised naevus controls were randomly selected from our archive.
RESULTS: We observed that 81% of patients showed, at least, one involutive naevus and 25% of recorded nevi presented this phenomenon; the mean time of involution was 46.7 months. The predominant structural pattern was reticular (>70%), and the most frequently observed regression structures were vascular (33.8%). Histopathological significant higher intensity of inflammatory infiltrate in controls and higher presence of laminar and compact fibrosis and increase of vessels in cases were demonstrated. Regarding immunohistochemical biomarkers, only higher expression of cytoplasmic activated caspase 3 in controls was significant.
CONCLUSIONS: Naevus involution is a common phenomenon in patients with dysplastic naevus syndrome. It is usually a slow process, more frequent in naevus with reticular pattern. SIAscopy regression structures are uncommon, with the exception of vascular ones. Histologically, fading involutive pattern is characterized by scarce inflammatory infiltrate and melanophages, delicate fibrosis and increase of vessels.
