Abstract

Meyerson phenomenon (MP) is an uncommon clinical condition that is characterized by an eczematous halo surrounding a preexisting melanocytic nevus (MN) and numerous other lesions. The etiology is unknown and the main concern is malignant transformation. We report an original case of a MP simulating a halo nevus.
