Abstract
Although lentigines are usually benign, they can be associated with a number of genetic syndromes in which neoplasms and other multi‐system pathological processes occur. Here, we report the case of a 6‐year‐old girl who presented with atypical lentiginosis and hyperpigmentation caused by a de novo genetic variant in the KIT gene. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
