  • Title: Dysplastic and congenital nevi.
    Author: Casson P, Colen S.
    Journal: Clin Plast Surg; 1993 Jan; 20(1):105-11; discussion 111-3. PubMed ID: 8420700.
    Abstract:
    The dysplastic nevus, both the sporadic and familial type, has a significant association with melanoma of the skin. The congenital nevus, which ranges in size from less than 1 cm to a giant hairy nevus, are treated primarily for aesthetic reasons and, in the giant variety, are also treated as a prophylaxis against the possibility of malignant change.
