Eruptive Disseminated Spitz Nevi: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Spitz naevus (SN) are benign melanocytic lesions, which are classified into solitary, agminated, or disseminated forms. The most common form is solitary SN, typically occurring on the face and extremities of children. However, the disseminated SN is a rare presentation that can be either rapid eruptive or non-eruptive. The eruptive disseminated Spitz naevus (EDSN) often develops between the ages of 10 and 20 and affects nearly the whole-body surface, beginning in the trunk and/or extremities. Without prior reports from the population of Saudi Arabia, this eruptive SN has reportedly impacted native Alaskans (Americans), Koreans, Pakistanis, African Americans, and Hispanics. Eruptive disseminated SNs are rare, with only 27 cases having been reported in the literature. This article presents another case of EDSN.
