Nevus spilus (also known as speckled lentiginous nevus and zosteriform lentiginous nevus) is a skin lesion that presents as a light brown or tan macule, speckled with smaller, darker macules or papules.
Nevus spilus (synonym: Speckled lentiginous nevus) is characterized by dark macules corresponding to junctional or compound nevi over a background of café-au-lait macule (CALM). Speckled lentiginous nevus no longer represents a single entity. Two different variants Nevus spilus maculosis and Nevus spilus papulosis have been described. The present prospective study was undertaken to determine the efficacy of Q switched Nd:YAG laser (QSNYL) in fifteen patients with nevus spilus (NS).
