Abstract Agminated Spitz nevi are an uncommon entity, and their management is challenging due not only the young age of the patients but also the tumor's uncertain malignant potential and the variability in the dermoscopic and clinical presentation. We report a case of a 6‐year‐old boy with multiple agminated Spitz nevi on a café au lait macule with different atypical clinical patterns and dermoscopic features.
