| Abstract |
|
Five hundred fifty consecutively born full-term neonates, delivered at Eul Ji General Hospital, were examined for the presence of Mongolian spots (MS). The spots were found in 81.9% of male children, and in 85% of female children. The sacrogluteal region was the most frequent site of pigmentation, with the coccyx next in frequency.
The color was most frequently blue-green, but was also commonly greenish-blue. A comprehensive review of the history of the description of MS and theories of its development, as well as a review of the clinical aspect, is presented.
