Generalised eruptive melanocytic naevi – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/858869202
This phenomenon describes the rapid simultaneous appearance of multiple melanocytic naevi, often hundreds in number, on previously uninvolved sun-exposed skin. The phenomenon has been linked to immunosuppression, particularly in renal transplant recipients and in individuals receiving cancer chemotherapy, and may be considered a more advanced counterpart of generalised eruptive lentiginosis.
