Spitz Nevus with Specific Dermoscopic Features

摘要：

IntroductionSpitz nevus is recognized as a benign or indolent melanocyte proliferation that most commonly develops in children and young adults.In some cases,atypical Spitz nevus may mimic a malignant melanocytic neoplasm.To differentiate Spitz nevus from melanoma,thorough examinations are needed.Dermoscopy has emerged as an important tool in the evaluation of patients with lesions suspected as Spitz nevi,but there have not been many cases reported in China that used dermoscopic analysis.Here,we report a case of a five-year-old boy with a Spitz nevus on his face,describing its clinical manifestations,histopathological characteristics,and,most notably,its specific patterns of dermoscopy.
