Multiple agminate juvenile melanoma

“…The aggregation ofthe lesions in an agminate manner on this boy's cheek, closely resembles that described in other cases (Sourreil, Beylot & Carrard, 1969;Brownstein, 1972;Kriner & Mehregan, 1978). What induces these lesions to appear is unknown, but several reports infer that trauma is responsible for the development of multiple lesions either following an injection (Traub, 1949) or following excision of a pre-existing lesion (jablonska et al, 1965;Bureau et al, 1967). In our patient, there was no history of trauma.…”
