  Fig. 1 (A) Solitary dark-colored plaque on the patient's right cheek with foul-smelling discharge on squeezing. (B) Histopathological findings in the excised specimen showed congenital melanocytic nevus with multiple cysts filled with keratinous material (H&E, ×10), and melanocytic nevus cells were imbedded along the epithelium of a huge epidermal cyst resembling buddings on the tree (inset, ×100).
