Congenital agminated melanocytic nevus - case report*
نویسندگان
چکیده
Agminated nevus is a cluster group of melanocytic nevi confined to a localized area of the body. There are many pigmented lesions described in the literature as agminated, such as blue nevi, multiple lentigines and Spitz nevi, but only a few cases of congenital agminated melanocytic nevi have been described. We report a case of a male child who presented with congenital agminated nevi, emphasizing the importance of physical examination, dermoscopy, histopathological evaluation, differential diagnosis and follow up to rule out the possibility of dysplastic or malignant changes.

Lesions are usually asymptomatic and solitary, but may present in a multiple or agminated (grouped) pattern. The agminated subtype is formed when bluish-pigmented lesions cluster together in a well-defined area...

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.
