This is a report describing the case of a 66-year-old male with development of halo naevi. A biopsy of one of these naevi revealed a malignant melanoma with extensive regression. The purpose of this report is to identify that development of halo naevi outside of childhood or adolescence should raise suspicion and may require biopsy.
