Brief Description

A Large or Giant Congenital Melanocytic Nevus (plural: Nevi) is a pigmented lesion, substantial in size, either present at birth or very shortly after birth (within 2 years). These rare large birthmarks carry a small risk of neurological (brain) complications, and are presumed to increase the incidence of skin cancer compared to people who don’t have them. Because people who have these “look different” psychological impacts can be great.
