On that score, is important stand out that acquired naevi degenerates rarely, and those who are located on plantar surface and interfering with pressure don’t represent more risk to malignance than others located on different areas. We present the case of 46 years-old female patient who present a melanocytic lesion on the sole of the left foot, with suspicious appearance and which was excisioned and sent to histological exam, with the purpose to discard a possibly malignant implication.
