Abstract

Speckled lentiginous nevus(SLN) is characterized by a tan background patch on which more darkly pigmented macules and papules are randomly distributed. The presence of agminated Spitz nevi with SLN is well known, but a solitary Spitz nevus arising on a SLN is rare. We herein report a case of SLN with two Spitz nevi developed individually and congenital melanocytic nevus in a 9-year-old boy.
