Abstract

Spotted grouped pigmented nevus is a distinct form of non-giant congenital melanocytic nevi. Histopathologically, it tends to proliferate around the skin appendages. We report a case of a 10-year-old boy with clinical and pathological findings consistent with the diagnosis of spotted grouped pigmented nevus of more than 20 cm diameter, which is considered giant.

Keywords: congenital nevus cells; melanocyte; melanocytic lesions.
