Blue Nevus is a distinct melanocytic neoplastic entity. Its counterpart Blue Melanoma poses serious problems in diagnosis due to subtle nature of atypical nuclear features. A case of Blue Melanoma is presented here where several pathologists had difficulty in rendering malignant diagnosis. However FNAC and then excisional biopsy confirmed the diagnosis
Key words: Blue cell Nevus, malignant melanoma, Blue cell melanoma, Blue Melanoma.
