  • Title: Leukoderma in association with giant congenital nevi: report of two cases.
    Author: Albert VA, Barnhill R, Sober AJ.
    Journal: Dermatology; 1992; 185(2):140-2. PubMed ID: 1421627.
    Abstract:
    Two patients are presented in whom giant congenital nevi were associated with hypopigmentation. One patient has had no associated melanoma. The second patient developed hypopigmentation years before a melanoma was excised, and increased hypopigmentation was noted years later without evidence of melanoma recurrence. While the mechanism for the development of the hypopigmentation noted in these two patients in uncertain, an immunologically mediated systemic process may be responsible.
