1 THE JOURNAL OF IRTESTIOATIVE DERMATOLOGY Copyright 1065 by The Williams & Wilkins Co. Vol. 50, No. 6 Prirtted ir U.S.A. TJLTRASTRUCTURE OF HALO NEVI* JOHN L. SWANSON, CAPTAIN, MC, USAR, DONALD M. WAYTE, MAJOR, RAMC AND ELSON B. HELWIG, M.D. Recent electron microscopic, histochemical, and biochemical studies have defined and clarified many problems in normal and aberrant cutaneous pigmentation (1 14). One lesion of the skin that incorporates into its life history aspects of both excessive and decreased pigmentation is the halo nevus (15, 16). This entity is named for the association of a central pigmented nevus with a surrounding depigmented zone. The pigmented nevus spontaneously diminishes in size and finally disappears, leaving a focus of hypopigmentation or depigmentation. Previous light microscopic studies have elucidated the absence of melanocytes in the halo epidermis, the cellular character of the nevus, and the inflammatory cell infiltrate about the nevus cells (16, 17). We have examined two halo nevi by electron microscopy in order to determine the fine structure of the lesions and relate them to notions of their pathogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODs Excisional skin biopsies of halo nevi were obtained from two brown-haired, brown-eyed Caucasian men, 23 and 33 years old, respectively. Fixation was achieved by immersion either in cacodylate-buffered glutaraldehyde (followed by rinsing and postosmieation) or in s-eollidine-buffered osmium containing sucrose and calcium. The specimens containing nevi were halved, fixed briefly, and divided after careful inspection into nevus, halo, and peripheral pigmented portions. Thick sections of the Epon-embedded tissues were stained with toluidine blue 0. Thin sections were stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate and were examined with a Siemens IA microscope. RESULTS Light microscopy The epidermis contains numerous "clear" cells both in areas overlying the nevus (Fig. 1) and in the region of the halo (Fig. 2). These cells are situated in the basal layer as well as in more superficial locations. The nuclear contour of the clear cells may be * From the Dermal Pathology Branch, Armed Forces Instltute of Pathology, Washington, D. C Accepted for publication December 15, indented and ovoid but is usually convoluted and irregular. Granules are not seen in the abundant cytoplasm of these cells, the outlines of which are often dendritie. The pigmented epidermis surrounding the halo appears to contain fewer clear cells than the epidermis of the halo. The intradermal nevus (Fig. 1) is composed of admixed large, irregular cells and small, darker, fairly regular cells. Pigment granules are prominent in many of the larger cells (see M, Fig. 1), in which the granules vary considerably in coarseness. The smaller cells (see 5, Fig. 1) resemble lymphocytes and do not have visible pigment granules. Electron microscopy The segments of epidermis peripheral to the halo are composed mainly of keratinocytes with many intracytoplasmie melanin granules. A few melanocytes are identified by their lack of desmosomes and tonofilaments and by the presence of pigment granules, the characteristic melanin lattice structure (2) of which is evident (Fig. 3). The cellular population of the epidermis constituting the halo is markedly different from that of the contiguous pigmented zones. No melanocytes are identified in the halo. The keratinocytes seem to contain fewer and less "mature" premelanosomes than similar cells in the periphery, but this observation was not quantitated. The keratinoeytes (K, Fig. 4) are admixed with many large, irregular dendritie cells in all strata except the cornified layer. These cells (L, Figs. 4 and 5) contain lobulated nuclei, extensive Golgi zones, many mitochondria, and abundant endoplasmie reticulum. They are identified by the presence of characteristic cytoplasmie organelles (12, 18, 19). These organdies consist of an internal component with a lattice spacing of 70 to SO A surrounded by typical trilaminar membranes (see inset, Fig. 4). One end of the organelle is continuous with a dilated "empty" eisterna. The striated portion is usually seen as an elongated, cigar-shaped profile. This represents a cross section of the structure, which has a flat, discoid over-all shape. 434
2 ULTRASTRUCTURE OF HALO NEVI 435 Many Langerhans cells are also present in the epidermis overlying the nevus cells in the dermis (Fig. 5). Other cells with a size and shape resembling that of Langerhans cells do not contain the organdies characteristic of the latter (Fig. 5, middle). These cells are often dendritic and contain spherical membrane-enclosed intracytoplasmic bodies that are finely granular and measure 0.3 to 1 micron in diameter. The exact nature of these cells, along with smaller cells of similar structure, is unclear. The small cells (Figs. 6, 7, 8, 9) contain spherical bodies in their cytoplasm and have a structure that is lymphocyte-like in general. They are found in the following locations: (a) in the epidermis overlying the ncvus (Fig. 6), (b) just beneath points of obvious discontinuity in subcpidermal basement membrane (Fig. 7), and (c) in the deeper portions of the nevus (Figs. 8 and 9). A few of these cells show signs of degeneration (Fig. 10). The ncvus in the dermis is heterogeneous in its cellular population. Large cells (20 to 30 micra in diameter) arc of three types. One type has a variety of "phagocytosed" structures in cytoplasmic, membrane-enclosed organclles (Fig. 11). Coarse melanin granules are often abundant in these macrophages, in which case they may be termed "melanophages" (Fig. 12). A second type of large cell contains little or no pigment, extensive rough cndoplasmic reticulum, and many fine (50- to 60-A) filaments in its cytoplasm (Fig. 13). The third type of large cell contains numerous small collections of melanin along with many mitochondria, extensive cndoplasmic reticulum, and few cytoplasmic filaments (Fig. 14). This is representative of epithelioid or type A nevus cells (13). Small lymphocyte-like cells, described above, are abundant in the nevus (Figs. 8 and 9). They vary in shape, nuclear configuration, and cytoplasmic organelles. They may represent the type B nevus cells described by Mishima (13) but identification on the basis of comparison with his micrographs is indefinite. Differentiation of these cells from lymphocytes could be made only if histochemical studies were to demonstrate either acid hydrolase or DOPAoxidasc activity in the spherical cytoplasmic bodies. DJsCussION Electron microscopic study of two halo ncvi has disclosed that the prominent "clear" cells in the dcpigmcntcd epidermis of the halo are Langcrhans cells. Mclanocytcs were not seen in this area but were found in the pigmented epidermis peripheral to the halo. The nevus consisted of several types of large nevus cells, macrophagcs, and small, lymphocyte-like cells. Clinical forms of diminished pigmentation arc classically categorized as either inherited or acquired. Oculocutancous albinism and piebaldism (partial albinism) arc genetically determined as recessive and dominant traits, respectively, whereas vitiligo is acquired. These conditions are characterized by a light microscopic pattern of increased numbers of "clear" cells in the epidermis. Recent studies have demonstrated differences in these disorders with regard to the nature of the clear cells in each. Oculocutancous albino epidermis contains melanocytes whose melanosomes have little or no pigment (20) because of a defect in melanin synthesis (13). In partial albinism, melanocytes arc present but structurally "abnormal" in areas other than the region of the white forelock (12). Both the white-forelock area in piebaldism (12) and the dcpigmented foci in vitiligo (13, 21) show an absence of melanocytcs and an increased number of Langcrhans cells. The depigmentcd cpidermal zones in halo ncvi arc similar in ultrastructure to these two last-mentioned disorders. Langcrhans cells are components of normal epidermis, in which they arc found as "clear," aurcophilic, DOPA-ncgative, and tyrosinasenegative cells (3, 18). They are fonnd in the epidermis at both basal and more superficial levels, with the latter area predominating. The light microscopic and histochemical characteristics of these cells have been interpreted as those of effete mclanocytcs (22). Although the exact relationship between melanocytcs and Langerhans cells has not been established, the ultrastructurc of the latter is not suggestive of a "worn-out" form of the former. Brcathnach (23) has presented a hypothesis that the two types of cells are daughter cells of a common stem cell. Zelickson (18) and Brcathnach (24) have reported the occurrence of melanin in Langerhans cells. This finding, along with the apparent reciprocal relationship between the
3 436 THE JOURNAL OF INVESTIGATIVE DERMATOLOGY two cell types, is inferential evidence to support Breathnaeh's hypothesis, hut either (a) failure of newly divided cells to mature completely into melanin-synthesizing forms or (b) a preferential destruction of melanoeytes and sparing of Langerhans cells would account for the patterns observed in the depigmented conditions. Large nevus cells presented several variations in ultrastrueture. The predominant cell contained an abundance of small pigment granules in its cytoplasm, in which relatively few filaments were found. This pattern corresponds to that of an epithelioid nevus cell (13). A few large cells had sparse pigment granules in a cytoplasm packed with filaments. This type of cell resembled somewhat the neuroid nevus cell in spite of the absence of a surrounding basement membrane. These relationships suggest a transition from one to the other or differentiation of both from a common stem eel!. Other large cells in the dermal mass were melanophages or maerophages containing cellular debris. The relationship of the small lymphocytelike cells to the nevus and its evolution is puzzling. First, it is impossible to identify the cells as either lymphocytes or small type B nevus cells. We are unaware of published reports of cytoplasmie organelles or inclusions, both of which were present in these cells, in bona fide lymphocytes. If the cells are type B or small nevus cells, they show a degree of differentiation related to development of endoplasmie reticulum and disappearance of free ribosomes. A similar transition has been shown to take place in antigenieally stimulated lymphocytes (25). It appears that these cells either (a) have invaded the nevus and its overlying epidermis in response to an immune or other inflammatory stimulus, or (b) are nevus cells that have arisen in the epidermis and exhibited "Abtrofung" (26) into the underlying dermis. We are of the rather arbitrary opinion that the former is correct, that the small cells are members of the lymphocyte series, and that the intracytoplasmie spherules are material incidentally phagoeytosed. SUMMARY Langerhans cells are abundant, and melanoeytes are absent in the depigmented epidermis of the halo nevus. Melanoeytes are seen in the epidermis peripheral to the halo and in the region overlying nevus cells in the dermis. The latter areas of epidermis also contain many Langerhans cells and small, lymphocyte-like cells. A heterogeneous collection of cells constitutes the intradermal portion of the nevus. This includes large nevus cells of two types macrophages, and small, lymphocyte-like cells. The epidermal cell population of the depigmented halo zone, as demonstrated by electron microscopy, is identical to that seen both in vitiligo and in the area of the white forelock of piebald patients. This suggests a relationship among these acquired hypopigmentary processes in man. REFERENCES 1. Clark, W. H. and Hibbs, R. G.: Electron microscopic studies of the human epidermis. J. Biophys.
