Abstract
Congenital melanocytic nevus is benign pigmented lesion of the skin usually present at birth. Here we report a case of 61-year-old male who presented with a pigmented lesion on the trunk, which on biopsy showed features of both congenital melanocytic nevus and fibroepithelioma of Pinkus. We reviewed literature for this combination and found only one case reported so far. Hence, it seems that it is very unusual to seefibroepithelioma of Pinkus in conjunction with a melanocytic lesion.

We report a case of 61-year-old male who presented with a pigmented lesion on the trunk, which on biopsy showed features of both CMN and Fibroepithelioma of Pinkus (FEP)
Histopathology showed nests of melanocytes in dermal stroma and diffuse infiltration of melanocytes in perivascular area, adnexal structures and dermoepidermal junction, which confirmed the diagnosis of congenital melanocytic nevus
Summary
Dear Editor, Congenital melanocytic nevus (CMN) is benign pigmented lesion of the skin usually present at birth. We report a case of 61-year-old male who presented with a pigmented lesion on the trunk, which on biopsy showed features of both CMN and FEP. 1 it seems that it is very unusual to see FEP in conjunction with a melanocytic lesion. A 61-year-old Chinese male presented with a black colored single lesion on left lower abdomen, which was there since birth.
