거대 선천멜라닌세포모반에서 발생한 증식성 결절

Abstract

The proliferative nodules within a giant congenital melanocytic nevus (GCMN) are generally benign and may regress. However, atypical features cause great interest in dermatopathology. Especially, in neonate proliferative nodules with bleeding, ulceration on GCMN makes it difficult to differentiate the nodules from congenital malignant melanoma. Herein, we describe an interesting case of proliferative nodules in a GCMN of a newborn, which has not been previously reported in Korea. (Korean J Dermatol 2012;50(3):243~247)
