A 14-year-old boy presented a dark pigmented lesion on his lumbar area. Dermoscopy revealed a
homogeneous pattern with a bluish pigmentation. Rare
brown globules were found at the periphery. The lesion was excised and pathology revealed a dermal
Spitz nevus.
Six dermoscopic patterns of Spitz nevus have been described:
-vascular pattern with dotted vessels
-globular pattern
-reticular pattern
-starburst pattern
-homogeneous pattern
-atypical pattern
