Unusual form of melanocytic nevus associated with Turner's syndrome.
An 11-year-old girl with Turner's syndrome developed a combined nevus on the back. The examination of the excised specimen revealed the combination of common compound nevus and a component of Spitz's nevus. Numerous melanocytic nevi are a feature of Turner's syndrome, but this appears to be the first case of a combined nevus with Spitz's component.
