Abstract:
Desmoplastic Spitz nevus is a rare variant of Spitz nevus characterized by predominantly spindle-shaped or epithelioid nevus cells within the fibrotic stroma that can be confused with fibrous lesions. A 43-year-old woman presented with a 1-cm-sized dome-shaped papule on the dorsum of her left foot. The lesion showed histopathological features of a desmoplastic Spitz nevus with structures that resemble adenoma. Immunohistochemical staining was positive for S-100 protein, Melan-A, and SOX-10. Herein, we report this case because desmoplastic Spitz nevus is rare and can lead to confusion regarding the diagnosis of adnexal neoplasms.
