Agminated Spitz Nevi on a Hyperpigmented Macule

[Agminated Spitz nevi on a hyperpigmented macule].

We present the case of a 2-year-old boy with multiple Spitz nevi clustered on a hyperpigmented macule that obeyed a quadrant distribution. Multiple Spitz nevi are rare and can be disseminated or clustered. A third of the cases of agminated lesions appear on hyperpigmented macules.

The Spectrum of Spitz Nevi

Main Outcome Measure: Frequency of dermoscopic patterns within the different histopathologic subtypes of Spitz nevi. Results: Overlapping clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathologic findings were observed among PSN, RN, and PSRN, thereby justifying their inclusion into the single PSRN diagnostic category. Asymmetry was the most frequent indicator of histopathologic ASN (79%; n=11); in only 4 cas...
