Abstract

The rapid growth of lesions clinically resembling compound nevi in patients with HIV/AIDS should alert physicians to the possibility of malignant melanomas. Immunohistochemistry for proliferating cell nuclear antigen can be helpful in the diagnosis of these tumors. A case of multiple primary nevoid melanomas in a patient with HIV/AIDS is reported.
