Abstract
Spitzoid melanom, klinik ve histopatolojik olarak tanı konması oldukça güç olan nadir bir melanom alt tipidir. Melanomun çocuklarda oldukça nadir görülmesi nedeniyle literatürde çocukluk çağında görülen Spitzoid melanomların özelliklerine dair bilgi oldukça kısıtlıdır. Burada Spitzoid melanom saptanan 10 yaşında bir çocuk olgu sunulmuştur. Bu olgu vesilesiyle klinik ve dermoskopik özellikler karakteristik olmadıkça, hasta çocuk bile olsa, vasküler lezyon ayırıcı tanısında melanomun mutlaka akılda tutulması gerekliliği vurgulanmıştır.
Spitzoid melanoma is a rare variant of melanoma, in which the clinical and histopathologic diagnoses are difficult. Data on the features of Spitzoid melanoma in children is limited in the literature, since melanoma is rarely seen in childhood. Here, we report a 10 year-old child with a Spitzoid melanoma. By the means of this case, it has been emphasized that melanoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of vascular lesions even seen in childhood, unless the clinical and dermoscopic features are characteristic for an entity.
