Prostate gland is an unusual location for melanocytic lesions such as blue nevus. Typically, all three different types of melanchromatic lesions in the prostate, blue nevus, melanosis and malignant melanoma, are very rare and must be differentially diagnosed. These lesions are incidental findings in prostatic tissue biopsies and have a potential correlation with prostate adenocarcinoma. Blue nevus itself is a benign lesion and there is no need for further treatment. We present a case of a 69-year-old male who underwent needle biopsy procedure for prostate cancer investigation. On histological examination together with prostatic hyperplasia, the presence of a blue nevus, as incidental finding was diagnosed.
