Case from Dr Ian McColl
Nevus spilus or speckled lentiginous nevus is relatively common. Up to 2% of the population may have one. Some are present at birth but most appear in the first year of life. I have never seen one which changed but I have never specifically followed one up over a period of time either.

Extensive examples of nevus spilus differ from a Becker's nevus in lacking extensive hypertrichosis but surprisingly some do have smoothe musclehyperplasia! Others have been reported in asssociation with blue nevi,basal cell carcinoma and sebaceous nevi.
