Melanoma in childhood is rare and its diagnosis is more difficult than in adults, as it often presents histologic features overlapping with the Spitz nevus. The authors report the case of a 17-year old boy who was first diagnosed with Spitz nevus, however, the final diagnosis made after the excision of the tumor arising in the scar was changed to melanoma. The case in this present study emphasizes the importance of the differential diagnosis of skin tumors in young patients.
儿童黑色素瘤较为罕见,其诊断比成人更困难,因为它常常呈现出与斯皮茨痣重叠的组织学特征。作者报告了一例17岁男孩的病例,该男孩最初被诊断为斯皮茨痣,然而,在切除瘢痕处出现的肿瘤后最终诊断改为黑色素瘤。本研究中的病例强调了年轻患者皮肤肿瘤鉴别诊断的重要性。
