Abstract

We report a case of pigmented spindle cell nevus which occurred in a 4-year-old male. Several months earlier, his mother noticed a 3x3mm sized annular, hyperpigmented macule on his right thigh. Histopathologic findings showed nests of spindle cells with sharply defined lateral margins in the dermoepidermal junction and cleft around the spindle cell nests with heavy melanin pigmentation.
