Blitz Nevus: A Clinical Simulator of Melanoma.
A 17-year-old adolescent girl attended our clinic for a scheduled review of her nevus lesions. She complained about a lesion on the posterior region of her neck, which she had noticed approximately 2 years before. Even though it had not caused any symptoms, its appearance had changed according to her parents. The patient's medical history, as well as that of her family's, was unremarkable.
