Spitz tumor (nevus) is a rare, melanocytic lesion that primarily affects children and adolescents. The lesion may share many clinical and histological similarities with malignant melanoma and careful microscopic examination is required to render the proper diagnosis. Complete excision with close follow-up is considered the appropriate treatment. Despite the common presentation of Spitz nevi on the facial skin, lip involvement has only rarely been described in the English language literature. In the present study, a case of Spitz tumor located on the vermilion border of the upper lip in a 16-year old female patient is reported.
斯皮茨瘤(痣)是一种罕见的黑素细胞病变,主要影响儿童和青少年。该病变可能与恶性黑色素瘤有许多临床和组织学上的相似之处,需要仔细的显微镜检查才能做出正确诊断。完整切除并密切随访被认为是合适的治疗方法。尽管斯皮茨痣常见于面部皮肤,但英文文献中很少描述唇部受累情况。在本研究中,报告了一例16岁女性患者上唇唇红缘的斯皮茨瘤病例。
