Spitz naevi (SN) are benign melanocytic naevi characterized by spindled and epithelioid cells in histology seen in both children and adults. In the present study, we aimed to determine whether there is a difference in the dermoscopic features of SN by age and anatomic site. Previous studies have demonstrated this association in congenital and common naevi. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
