    Author: Taboada-Suárez A, Brea-García B, Suárez-Peñaranda JM, Couto-González I.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 2011; 28(6):681-684. PubMed ID: 21995739.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 15-year-old boy with giant congenital melanocytic nevi on his back, buttocks, and rear of the two proximal thirds of his thighs, and neurocutaneous melanosis, diagnosed when he was 3 years old. Three melanocytic nodules were present in the giant nevi that were suspected to have malignant degeneration. A biopsy of these nodules was carried out, and histological study revealed benign proliferative melanocytic nodules within the giant congenital melanocytic nevi.
