Nevus spilus is characterized by a pigmented patch with scattered flat or maculopapular speckles. Nevus spilus was first described by Burkley in 1842. Since then, this lesion has been widely debated in the literature, particularly for the possible occurrence of melanoma within the lesion.
We describe the case of a 65-year-old female presenting with a nodular achromic melanoma that occurred within a nevus spilus on the left thigh.
Our observation is consistent with the idea that this entity in some circumstances may have the ability to evolve into a malignant melanoma.
痣样斑由带有散在的扁平或斑片状色素沉着的色素斑组成。痣样斑于 1842 年由 Burkley 首次描述。从那时起,该病变在文献中引起了广泛的争论,特别是对于病变内可能发生黑色素瘤的情况。
我们描述了一位 65 岁女性的病例,她在左大腿的痣样斑上出现了结节性无色素性黑色素瘤。
我们的观察结果与这种情况下该实体可能具有演变成恶性黑色素瘤的能力的观点一致。
