Abstract :

Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma (PEM) is a recently proposed entity which includes melanocytic tumors previously designated as �animal type melanoma� and epithelioid blue nevus of Carney�s complex. We report a case of PEM in an 8 year old male child who presented with a blackish nodule on the scalp. Excision biopsy of nodule was subjected to histopathological processing and IHC studies. The characteristic histomorphology and positive melanocytic marker in spindle, polygonal and epithelioid cellular components of the skin confirmed the diagnosis
