AB Blue  nevi  are  small,  slightly  elevated,  blue-black  lesions  (Figure  6–3)  that  favor  the  dorsal  hands.  They  are  common  in  persons  of  Asian  descent  and  may  be  single  or  multiple.  If  the  lesion  has  remained  unchanged  for  years,  it  may  be  considered  benign,  since  malignant  blue  nevi  are  rare.  However,  blue-black  papules  and  nodules  that  are  new  or  growing  must  be  evaluated  to  rule  out  nodular  melanoma.
