Divided nevus or kissing nevus is usually defined as a congenital melanocytic nevus that occurs on adjacent parts of the upper and lower eyelids and may appear to be a single lesion when the lids are closed. Other types of divided nevus have been reported less frequently: nevus spilus on the eyelids, mast cell nevus, and epidermal nevus on the fingers.

Only the coronal sulcus was exempt from melanocytic pigmentation.
