    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pediatric Pathology

    Background:

    • Congenital pigmented lesions are rare in infants.
    • Subungual and periungual nevi are uncommon in Caucasian populations.

    Observation:

    • A 4-month-old infant presented with a congenital, darkly pigmented macular lesion on the right ring finger, affecting subungual and periungual areas.
    • The lesion was surgically excised at 6 months of age.

    Findings:

    • Histopathologic examination revealed the lesion to be a compound nevus.
    • The diagnosis ruled out congenital acrolentiginous melanoma.

    Implications:

    • Congenital nevi in this location are rare and may warrant excision for differential diagnosis.
    • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for rare pediatric dermatological conditions.
