Melanoma arising in a giant nevus spilus maculosus
Keywords:
nevus spilus, large nevus spilus maculosus, malignant melanomaAbstract
Melanoma arising in a nevus spilus is rare. There are two distinct types of nevus spilus characterized by macular or papular speckles, respectively. We report the case of a melanoma that arose in association with a giant nevus spilus maculosus.
