Abstract

Introduction: Dermal melanocytosis include the mongolian spot, blue nevus, nevus of Ota, nevus of Ito, and nevus hori. Nevus hori is also known as acquired bilateral nevus of Ota-like macules (ABNOM). Nevus Hori is characterized by its bilateral hyperpigmentation on the forehead, eyelids, cheeks, and/or nose and appears at third decade of life. Objective: To evaluate the clinical manifestation and management of Nevus Hori. Case: A 16-year-old Javanese female patient, complaint about dark patches in left her cheek since 2 years ago. Histopathology has not been done because patient refused to do the biopsy. Diagnosis of Nevus Hori is made based on anamnesis and clinical manifestations. The patient is treated with combination CO 2 fractional laser and 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser for 3 sessions and shows improvement. Conclusion: Among facial dermal melanocytosis (FDM), nevus of Ota and Nevus Hori are clinically similar and both diseases cause aesthetic problems as they develop on the face and are not self-limited. This laser combination aimed to increase the ability to remove pigment. Nevus Hori is diagnosed based on anamnesis and clinical finding. Laser therapy is the therapy of choice because of excellent results but cost and availability are the limiting factors.
