Abstract
Congenital naevi of the melanocytic system include numerous types, which differ in their clinical appearance, pattern of distribution, and histopathological features (1). Examples are large congenital melanocytic naevus, macular naevus spilus, papular naevus spilus, café-au-lait macules of neurofibromatosis 1, café-au-lait macules arranged in broad bands as noted in McCune-Albright syndrome, partial unilateral lentiginosis, naevus achromicus (naevus depigmentosus), phylloid hypermelanosis, and phylloid hypomelanosis (1–3).
We describe here two patients with a systematized pigmentary naevus that differed from all naevi reported so far.
