Spitz Naevus Presenting as a Solitary Hyperpigmented Plaque on the Forehead in an Adult: A Case Report

Spitz naevus is a benign melanocytic lesion classically described in children and adolescents. Its occurrence in adults, particularly with atypical clinical features, poses a significant diagnostic challenge as it may closely mimic malignant melanoma. We report a case of a 38-year-old man presenting with a solitary, slowly enlarging hyperpigmented plaque on the forehead. Clinicopathological correlation was essential in establishing the diagnosis. This case highlights the importance of including Spitz naevus in the differential diagnosis of solitary pigmented plaques in the head and neck region of adults.
