Eruptive Melanocytic Acral Nevi in the Setting of 6-mercaptopurine Therapy.
Eruptive melanocytic nevi (EMN) are a rare clinical finding characterized by sudden-onset nevi that often present in a grouped distribution. They have been associated with chemotherapy, immunosuppression, bullous diseases, and medications including multikinase and BRAF inhibitors. It is important for dermatologists to be able to identify patients with sudden development of new melanocytic nevi secondary to particular medications. Herein, we describe a case of eruptive melanocytic acral nevi secondary to 6-mercaptopurine therapy. J Drugs Dermatol. 2017;16(5):516-518. .Topics: Adolescent; Antimetabolites, Antineoplastic; Female; Humans; Mercaptopurine; Nevus, Pigmented | 2017 |

Sudden onset of Multiple nevi after administration of 6-mercaptopurine in an adult with Crohn's disease: a case report.
The correlation between combined chemotherapy, including 6-mercaptopurine, and development of excessive number of melanocytic nevi in childhood has been previously reported and studied. As of yet, no such relation has been reported in adults. We recently observed a 27-year-old female patient who developed numerous benign melanocytic nevi during a 20-month period while taking 6-mercaptopurine for Crohn's disease. The appearance of many nevi was worrisome to the patient from a cosmetic and medical perspective (given the higher risk of melanoma associated with large numbers of nevi).

[Acral nevi following chemotherapy].
Multiple melanocytic nevi showing an unusual accumulation on the soles of the feet were observed in an 8-year-old boy after he had received chemotherapy for acute lymphatic leukemia. This observation confirms the occurrence of chemically induced melanocytic nevi as well as their affinity for the acral sites.
