Abstract

Sophie Spitz initially scripted the specific melanocytic neoplasm in 1948 as “juvenile melanomas” or as “melanoma of childhood”. Spitz nevi are enunciated as benign melanocytic neoplasm preponderantly occurring in the paediatric age group although adults are also incriminated [1]. Spitzoid neoplasm is infrequently occurring melanocytic lesions of children or adolescents which constitute an estimated 1% of surgically resected melanocytic neoplasm. Reed nevus is designated as the pigmented variant of Spitz nevus with an identical morphology and evolution, frequently exemplified on lower extremities.
