Abstract
The epithelioid blue nevus (EBN) is a variant of the blue nevus characterized by heavily pigmented epithelioid melanocytes and lightly or nonpigmented spindle cells. It may be associated with Carney complex, a multiple neoplasia syndrome. Congenital cases of EBN not associated with Carney complex are rarely reported. We herein describe an infant who presented with multiple blue‐gray nodules and papules involving the head, trunk, and extremities at birth, the corresponding histopathologic findings, and genetic testing results.
