Abstract:
Speckled lentiginous nevus is circumscribed patch of hyperpigmentation with smaller, darker pigmented macules or papules within the patch. The background shows histologic features of lentigo simplex. The speckled areas show junctional or compound nevus. Association of speckled lentiginous nevus with multiple spitz nevi was rarely reported. We report a case of multiple spitz nevi arising in a giant speckled lentiginous nevus.
