ABSTRACT

Reed nevus is a benign melanocytic neoplasm, which usually manifests as a solitary spot or like a dark brown or black tumor, its usual level topography are lower extremities. It is more common in young women. It’s growth can be fast, so, we have to make differential diagnosis with melanoma and a surgical removal with histopathology must be done to rule out malignancy.
