| Popis: | This report highlights an unusual case of an atypical melanocytic proliferation in a pediatric patient and the surgical method used to repair the defect. I describe a 10-year-old boy with hallux irregular discoloration that was present from birth and rapidly enlarging. A biopsy led to the diagnosis of atypical melanocytic proliferation, which may represent an unusual manifestation of early melanoma in situ. Complete excision of the patch was performed, and the hallux was repaired using a double advancement flap for closure, thus curing the patient. |
