Spitz nevus is rare on palms and soles, despite their body surface area. This study analyzed Japanese literature and case studies, finding a 2% incidence on palms and soles versus 6.3% on hands and insteps.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Spitz nevus is a rare melanocytic tumor.
  • Little is known about its incidence on palmar and plantar surfaces.

Observation:

  • A case study of Spitz nevus on the palm was analyzed within Japanese literature.
  • Palms and soles constitute 5% of body surface area.
  • The incidence of Spitz nevus on palms and soles was 2%.

Findings:

  • The mean age of onset was 17.8 years.
  • All reported cases (4) were in women.
  • Lesions presented as black macules or small, flatly elevated modules, ranging from 3.5 to 8.0 mm.
  • Incidence on hands and insteps was 6.3%.

Implications:

  • Spitz nevus is significantly rarer on palms and soles compared to other body regions.
  • Further research is needed to understand the specific factors influencing Spitz nevus distribution.
  • This information is crucial for accurate diagnosis and patient counseling.
