Abstract:
Giant congenital melanocytic nevi are very rare skin lesions with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 20,000 live births, and have high risk of malignant melanoma development and leptomeningeal melanocytosis. Hence, its early and exact diagnosis in the neonatal period is important and essential. Only seven cases of giant congenital melanocytic nevi have been reported in Korea, of which none of the cases were associated with hemangioma. Herein, the authors describe a case of giant congenital melanocytic nevi with huge hemangioma with the pathologic findings that exhibited benign and provide a literature review.
