Multiple agminated Spitz nevi: report of two cases and review of the literature

Pediatr Dermatol. 1995 Jun;12(2):156-8. doi: 10.1111/j.1525-1470.1995.tb00144.x.

Abstract

Spitz nevus is most commonly a benign solitary lesion. Multiple lesions arranged in clusters (agminated) are very rare. Malignant degeneration has not been reported. Although spontaneous involution may occur, the nevi are frequently treated by surgical excision. We describe two preschool girls with multiple agminated Spitz nevi, and review the current world literature on multiple Spitz nevi.
