Abstract

Congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) are pigmented lesions present at birth, with varying size, morphology, and risk of malignant transformation. Palm and finger involvement is rare and clinically important due to cosmetic and functional concerns. We report the case of a 5-year-old boy with a pigmented nevus located on the right palm and finger, with no associated symptoms or family history. Clinical evaluation revealed a stable, well-defined lesion without alarming features. This case highlights the importance of careful long-term monitoring and parental counseling in rare presentations of CMN.
