  • Title: Management of nevus spilus.
    Author: Casanova D, Bardot J, Aubert JP, Andrac L, Magalon G.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 1996; 13(3):233-8. PubMed ID: 8806126.
    Abstract:
    Nevus spilus is clinically defined as a pigmented skin lesion composed of a light brown macule on which darker, circumscribed macular or papular lesions appear at a later stage. Histologically, nevus cells have been found both in pigmented spots and in the background stain. Cases of transformation into melanoma have been reported in the literature and the excision of these lesions is therefore justified. We discuss surgical techniques used in seven patients with nevus spilus and define their indications with respect to the characteristics of the lesion.
