Title: Speckled lentiginous nevus: A rare presentation associated with motor neuropathy and muscular atrophy in a child. Author: Greywal T, Matiz C. Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 2018 May; 35(3):e161-e162. PubMed ID: 29573448.

We present the first reported case of speckled lentiginous nevus syndrome presenting in a young child with muscle atrophy and motor deficits affecting muscles along the same distribution as the speckled lentiginous nevus.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
