Multiple Spitz nevi are rare and may occur in agminated, widespread, or dermatomal distributions. Agminated Spitz nevi usually arise in children, presenting on grossly normal, hyperpigmented, or most rarely, hypopigmented skin. We present a child with Langerhans cell histiocytosis who developed bilateral agminated Spitz nevi in the inguinal area. Unusual features included the multifocal distribution, bilateral inguinal location, and co-occurrence with Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

Spitz nevus is usually a solitary lesion. However, multiple Spitz nevi do arise and can be divided into two variants, agminated (grouped) or disseminated. We report an interesting case of multiple disseminated eruptive Spitz nevi with an unusual feature. The appearance of most of the nevi resembled that of melanocytic nevi, and clinically it was impossible to distinguish these multiple disseminated eruptive Spitz nevi from eruptive melanocytic one.

“…Most commonly, Spitz nevi present as solitary, dome‐shaped, smooth, asymptomatic, red or flesh‐colored papules or nodules; however, less common clinical variants exist, including agminated Spitz nevi, of which there have been 38 reported patients in the English‐language literature, including ours (1–32) (Table 1). The classic histologic findings include large spindle or epithelioid melanocytes or both, arranged in nests superficially and infiltrating the dermis at deeper levels.…”
