    Author: Llaneras MR, Morgan RF, Pham ST, Paley RJ, Kaulbach HC, Clapp CG, Edlich RF.
    Journal: J Emerg Med; 1989; 7(1):25-8. PubMed ID: 2703686.
    Abstract:
    Congenital giant hairy nevi represent a special group of melanocytic lesions which generally cover large areas of the body surface. Giant hairy nevi assume special significance because of their predisposition to malignant transformation. Adequate treatment of this lesion involves complete surgical excision as early in the child's life as possible.
