Abstract

Pigmented epithelioid melanocytoma is rare cutaneous melanocytic proliferation, characterized by heavily pigmented melanocytes, with a potential for regional node metastasis, but with an overall favorable clinical course. Here, we describe an uncommon case of pigmented epithelioid melanocytoma involving the penis in an adolescent patient.
