Spitz nevus is usually a solitary lesion. However, multiple Spitz nevi do arise and can be divided into two variants, agminated (grouped) or disseminated. We report an interesting case of multiple disseminated eruptive Spitz nevi with an unusual feature. The apperance of most of the nevi resembled that of melanocytic nevi, and clinically it was impossible to distinguish these multiple disseminated eruptive Spitz nevi from eruptive melanocytic one.
