ResumoIt is probable that histopathologicaUy this entity may actually be a spectrum; at one end there is hypermelanosis of the epidermis without melanocytic hyperplasia, whereas at the opposite end there is atypical melanocytic hyperproliferation. 6 VM/L appears to have a benign course with no reports of malignant degeneration. The sparsity of case reports and the lack of long-term follow-up, however, make it impossible to predict its natural history. Biopsies should be performed whenever pigmented spots are noted in the genital area. Regular follow-up and repeat biopsies of changing lesions are suggested until this condition is understood more completely.
