Malignant melanoma is a melanocyte tumor responsible for more than 75% of skin cancer deaths. The rare variants of this pathology are responsible for 5% of the cases and may mimic other pathologies. We report the case of a patient with spitzoid melanoma and we discuss the dermoscopic, histopathological, and immunohistochemical findings, as well as the follow-up of this rare variant of melanoma.
