mongolplet

Definition from netsundhedsplejerske.dk:
Mongolpletter er blålige eller dybt brunlige pletter, som sidder over os sacrum (halebenet), ved ryggen eller på underekstremiteterne (benene). Fænomenet ses hyppigst hos nyfødte, hvor forældrene er fra Middelhavslandende, Asien eller Afrika, men kan også af og til ses hos europæiske børn og hos børn fra Grønland. Børnene bliver som regel født med pletten, der dog kan ændre sig i størrelse og udseende. Pletterne forsvinder spontant, og det er således ikke noget man har i sit voksenliv. Mongolpletter har ikke noget med Dawns-syndrom (Mongolbørn) at gøre. Navnet mongolplet hænger sammen med, at man har set pletterne hos børn fra Mongoliet.
Example sentences:
En Mongolplet er en gråblå plet på huden oftest over korsryggen hos nyfødte børn af mørklødet race. Pletten skyldes øget pigment i dybtliggende celler. Mongolpletter må ikke forveksles med Mongolisme eller Dawns-Syndrom (kromosomfejl). Mongolpletterne skyldes en ufarlig ophobning af melanocytter, en celletype, der producerer malanin, et brunsort pigment. (Min-Mave.dk)
Børn, som ses i børnemodtagelse eller skadestue på formodning om at have lidt overlast, skal oftest indlægges til udredning. Undtagelse herfra kan være, at der helt åbenbart er tale om en forveksling med en ikke voldelig betinget tilstand som for eksempel forekomst af mongolpletter, som er mørke reaktionsløse pigmenteringer i huden over korsbenet og/eller langs columna. (Odense Universitetshospital)
