Nevus spilus, also known as speckled lentiginous nevus, is a light brown or tan birth mark, speckled with small, dark spots or small bumps.[1] If it occurs in a segmental pattern then it is sometimes referred to as a Zosteriform speckled lentiginous nevus.[1]
It may be associated with types of phakomatosis pigmentovascularis.[2]
Prevalence is between 0.2% and 2.8%.[3]
