Abstract

The article focuses on the dermoscopic features of familial gigantic melanocytosis (FGM), a rare genetic pigmentation disorder characterized by distinctive hyperpigmented and hypopigmented skin lesions. Topics include a detailed clinical presentation of FGM in a 25-year-old male patient, the importance of dermoscopy in differentiating FGM from other similar pigmentary conditions, and the findings from histopathological examination that confirm the diagnosis.
