Abstract
In extensive reviews of series of biopsies of melanoma, small congenital melanocytic nevi have been associated with 7 % to 8 % of cases. Many authors believe that these might represent a significant risk of malignant conversion from 10 years onwards and so recommend regular control visits during infancy and prophylactic exeresis in puberty.
