A 29 year old woman with cystic fibrosis (CF) presented to CF clinic following the sudden development of over 200 pigmented naevi located predominately on the trunk and limbs 3 months after commencing elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor, a novel triple-therapy CFTR modulator therapy for CF. Skin biopsy confirmed benign naevi and the clinical presentation was consistent with eruptive melanocytic naevi. Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor received marketing authorisation in August 2020 and this is the first report of associated naevi. The individual described here remains clinically well, and continues on elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor with dermatology follow-up.
