Description: A dark homogenous center, a white veil, streaks and pseudopods with a regular disposition forming a starbust pattern.

History:

This infant was 20 months old when she consulted. The lesion on the thigh had appeared 6 months ago, and was growing. It had a diameter of 5.5 mm.

The dermoscopic image was typical, with a black structurless center, and at the periphery, streaks and pseudopods, regularly disposed, forming a starbust pattern.

An excision was decided, and the pathology confirmed the diagnosis of Reed nevus.

Many thanks to Dr Anne-Marie Hubert-Asso, MD, Corbeil-Essonnes, France, who allowed me to publish this case.
