  • Title: Role of positron emission tomography in the management of neurocutaneous melanocytosis.
    Author: Cabanillas M, Ginarte M, Monteagudo B, Toribio J.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 2009; 26(3):351-2. PubMed ID: 19706106.
    Abstract:
    Management of large congenital melanocytic nevi and neurocutaneous melanocytosis represents a difficult challenge for clinicians, due to the high risk of malignancy in both entities and the difficulty of an early diagnosis of this complication. We report a new case of neurocutaneous melanocytosis (NCM) in association with large congenital melanocytic nevi (LCMN) that illustrates a possible role of positron emission tomography in the work-up of these patients.
