Abstract
The eruptive disseminated form of Spitz nevi (EDSN) is the rarest variant, is cosmetically disabling, and has a poorly documented natural history. We report the case of a 4-year-old boy with more than 100 Spitz nevi that have significantly regressed 8 years after onset. There is no satisfactory treatment for EDSN. There have been no reports of supervening malignancy. Our case illustrates the possibility of regression of EDSN, corroborating long-term observation as a safe and acceptable management option.Entities:
