Diagnosis of skin melanoma (SM) in children is a complex clinical and morphoimmunological problem. The rare occurrence, difficult interpretation of histological and immunohistochemical picture explain the error rate in the diagnosis of SM reaching 28.8 %. This article presents a clinical case of false-positive diagnosis of SM. As a result of a detailed assessment of the anamnesis, examination, revision of histological preparations and conducting an immunohistochemical study in the reference center, the diagnosis of SM was excluded.
