Giant Congenital Melanocytic Nevi in a Pakistani Newborn

Abstract: Congenital melanocytic nevi arise from overgrowth or disrupted migration of melanocyte precursor in the neural crest. They are also known as coat-sleeve, stocking, bathing trunk or garment nevi. The colour ranges from brown to black, with the lesions presenting as flat to raised nevi. Lesions presenting at birth with a diameter greater than 20cm are labelled giant congenital melanocytic nevi. Risk increases with an increase in the number of satellite lesions near the giant nevus. Management includes regular cl… Show more

“…Congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) are cutaneous lesions characterized histologically by benign proliferations of melanocytes. 1 GCMN in compare to CMN are deeper and extend more profound with irregular in margin, dark colored, and covered with coarse hair. 2 Neurocutaneous melanoma is associated with GCMN which indicated bad prognosis of the disease.…”
