[Acral eruptive nevi after chemotherapy in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia].
Eruptive melanocytic nevi have mainly been associated with blistering cutaneous diseases and with immunosuppression, particularly after renal allograft transplantation, hematological neoplasms, or HIV infection. Thus, immunosuppression has been suggested to increase the possibility of melanocyte proliferation. We report two cases of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who, after receiving chemotherapy, developed severe motor polyneuropathy, and sudden onset of multiple melanocytic nevi on the soles.
