Background Induction of melanocytic naevi by chemotherapy in children is reported in the literature. The reason for this phenomenon is not known yet. History and clinical findings We present a 6-year-old girl who fell ill with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at the age of 2 years. After a combined chemotherapeutic treatment for 2 years followed by complete remission of leukemia, many (>100) small pigmented naevi appeared over the whole body. The naevi did not show features suggestive of dysplasia. Conclusions Patients with excess numbers of melanocytic naevi constitute a risk group for malignant melanoma, therefore periodic skin examination is recommended.
