AB Figure  26-1Ephelis  This  is  the  learned  word  for  a  freckle.  The  plural  is  ephelides  (pronounced  ĕf-ĕl-ĩ-dēz).  These  brown  macules  are  exceedingly  common  on  the  face  in  some  children.  They  appear  after  exposure  to  sunlight  and  are  more  common  in  children  with  very  fair  skin  or  red  hair.  They  tend  to  disappear  in  adult  life.  Histologically,  these  lesions  show  increased  amounts  of  epidermal  melanin  but  no  abundance  of  melanocytes.Graphic  Jump  LocationView  Full  Size||Download  Slide  (.ppt)
