Halo
nevus (HN), (leucoderma aqusistum centrifugum), Nevus Sutton is defined
as a nevomelanocitic nevus surrounded with depigmented halo.
Melanoma, vitiligo, and atypical nevi are commonly found among patients
with HN.
The paper presents the case of a 20-year-old female, with a white spot
with sharp edges on the skin of the chest, with the black macula in the
centre, in the place of previous, larger nevus.
Diagnosis of HN can be made by clinical observation.
Participation of the immune response in the genesis of the HN is
evident.
The skin biopsy of tipical-appearing HN is not necessary.
