Abstract
Spitz nevus is one of the most frequent simulators of malignant melanoma of the skin. We experienced a case of Spitz nevus which several dermatopathologists initially diagnosed as melanoma. We discuss the clinical and histological features of this nevus and differential diagnosis for melanoma. [Skin Cancer (Japan) 2010 ; 25 : 108-113]
