ABSTRACT
In this report we will highlight an interesting 3 year case of a halo nevus on the back of a 13-year-old Korean girl. This was a single halo nevus with a central pinkish mole and a depigmented patch, 20 mm in diameter. The patient underwent an autologous suction blister graft on the lesion. The halo nevus was completely repigmented except for the marginal rim. At a 4 month follow-up, a new whitish halo was observed around the central pinkish mole. At this point the central nevus was excised and examined with a H & E stain and an immunohistochemical stain with an anti-Ig G antibody. After the excision of the central mole, repigmentation was completed and this condition persisted at a 3-year-follow-up.
