| Abstract (English): |
The mongolian spot is the most common pigmented lesion in newborns. It presents as a blue-gray, bluegreen, or brown macule with ill-defined borders that does not blanch with pressure. It appears at birth or within the first weeks of life and gradually fades over time. When the lesion appears in atypical locations, it is referred to as an aberrant Mongolian spot. We present a case of a female neonate whit a blue-gray hyperpigmented macular lesion with indistinct borders, extensively involving the buttocks, back, shoulders, and extremities. The pigmentation was mostly homogeneous, except on the lateral aspect of the left gluteal region, the lumbosacral junction, and the right scapular area, where superimposed darker macules of varying sizes were noted. Although the Mongolian spot is not associated with skin cancer, it should not always be considered a benign finding. In certain cases, it may be linked to congenital metabolic disorders.

| Abstract (Spanish): |
Antecedentes: La mancha mongólica es la lesión pigmentada más común en recién nacidos. Aparece como una mácula de color azul-grisácea, azul-verdosa o marrón, de bordes difusos, que no palidece a la digitopresión. Esta se presenta desde el nacimiento o las primeras semanas de vida y su desaparición es gradual. La manifestación de esta mancha en áreas atípicas es conocida como mancha mongólica aberrante. Se presenta el caso de un neonato femenino con lesión macular hiperpigmentada, azul-grisácea, de bordes indefinidos, de gran extensión en glúteos, espalda, hombros y extremidades, en su mayoría homogénea, a excepción de la cara lateral del glúteo izquierdo, la unión lumbosacra y la región escapular derecha, donde se asocian máculas oscuras sobrepuestas de tamaños variables. Aunque la mancha mongólica no está relacionada con cáncer de piel, no siempre debe considerarse como benigna, pues en casos especiales se asocia con trastornos congénitos del metabolismo.
