Abstract
A 47-year-old man had multiple large congenital melanocytic nevi associated with striking atrophic changes. Biopsy specimens showed a prominent reduction and fragmentation of elastic fibers in the papillary dermis. The anetoderma-like changes may have been secondary to a past inflammatory process but more likely represent a hamartoma.
