A Case of Typical Pigmented Spindle Cell Nevus / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Pigmented spindle cell nevus is a rare lesion characterized by uniform, expanding, heavily pigmented macule or papule, usually located on the thigh of a woman in the second and third decade of life. It is often misdiagnosed as Spitz nevus or malignant melanoma. A 30-year-old woman presented with black, smooth macule on her thigh. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis as pigmented spindle cell nevus. This is thought to be a more typical case than previously reported two domestic cases.
