Abstract

Congenital melanocytic nevus is deposition of pigment producing cells of melanocytic lineage in the dermis. We present an extremely rare case of congenital melanocytic nevus with a scrotal mass associated with deposition of melanin in the brain. The mass may mimic like a testicular tumour on clinical presentation.

Keywords: Congenital melanocytic nevus; neurocutaneous melanoses; pediatric scrotal mass.
