Abstract

The article deals with a morphologically confirmed case of the appearance of a nevus at the tattoo site. The patient complained of a change in the appearance of the tattoo in the form of the appearance of a dark, bumpy spot in the tattoo area, towering above the skin surface. As a result of clinical and morphological examination, a melanoform nevus was diagnosed with nests of melanocytes in the epidermis and accumulation of tattoo pigment in the nipple layer of the dermis.
