Core Tip

Core Tip: Neurocutaneous melanosis (NCM) is a rare congenital, nonhereditary neurocutaneous syndrome that mainly occurs in children, while adult NCM is very rare. Due to its rarity, clinical features and treatment strategies for NCM remain unclear. Herein, we report a case and review such reports and explore the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of NCM in adults.
