Abstract

A case report of a 5-year old boy with large giant congenital melanocytic nevüs (CMN) covering 67.5 % of his total body surface area is presented. Compared to the previous series, this case seems to have the largest congenital melanocytic nevüs. The age ofthepatient and the extent of the nevüs caused a serious controversy on the decision of the surgical treatment, and close clinical follow up was preferred. The treatment modality options for large melanocytic nevi are discussed.

Özet

Toplam vücut yüzey alanının % 67,5' i dev konjenital kıllı melanositik nevüs ile kaplı 5 y aşında erkek hasta vaka raporu olarak sunulmuştur. Yayınlanmış serilerle karşılaştırıldığında bu vaka en geniş, konjenital dev nevüs olarak görünmektedir. Hastamın yaşı ve lezyonun genişliği cerrahi girişim konusunda ciddi tereddüde yol açmış, sonuç olarak yakın klinik takip tercih edilmiştir. Bu vaka temel alınarak tedavi yöntemleri tartışılmıştır.
