Abstract
Neurocristic cutaneous hamartomas (NCHs) result from aberrant development of the neuromesenchyme. In addition to a dermal melanocytic component, these tumors can contain neuro sustentacular and fibrogenic components. The clinical importance of these lesions includes the potential for misdiagnosis as well as the development of malignant melanomas over a poorly described period of time. We present a rare case of NCH of the scalp in a 1-year-old female.Entities:
