2022, Dermatologic ClinicsCitation Excerpt :In older children and adults, the diameter can range from 15 to 300 mm.6 The most common locations of CALMs in the newborn and older children are the buttock and trunk, respectively,5,7 but they can appear anywhere on the body. The location of CALMs suggests that sunlight exposure is not involved in the pathogenesis.1

2018, Journal of Investigative DermatologyCitation Excerpt :Currently, this “old” concept has been overcome by the recent notion that high nevus counts are associated with lower Breslow thickness at melanoma diagnosis and confer a favorable prognosis among melanoma patients (Ribero et al., 2015). Observational studies consistently show that melanocytic nevus prevalence increases with age and that phenotypic traits are significantly associated with nevus count in children (Barón et al., 2014; Bauer et al., 2005; Buendía-Eisman et al., 2012; Gandini et al., 2005; Kallas et al., 2006; Lopez-Ravello et al., 2015; Rivers et al., 1995; Siskind et al., 2002; Whiteman et al., 2005). Although males have a worse outcome when compared with females among melanoma patients (Joosse et al., 2011, 2012, 2013; Khosrotehrani et al., 2015) and there is growing evidence to support a direct correlation between estrogens and melanoma growth and progression (De Giorgi et al., 2013; Janik et al, 2014; Mitkov et al., 2015; Spyropoulos et al., 2015), little is known about the influence of sex on nevus burden, and there is no definitive evidence that females have fewer nevi compared with males (Carli et al, 2002; Crane et al., 2009; Dulon et al., 2002; Lopez-Ravello et al., 2015; Oliveria et al., 2009).
Congenital “kissing” lesions: Nevus or “café au lait” spot?
2016, Revue de Stomatologie, de Chirurgie Maxillo-faciale et de Chirurgie OraleUpdate on melanocytic nevi in children
2015, Clinics in DermatologyCitation Excerpt :The term CNLN has also been employed for lesions with clinical (eg, larger than typical acquired nevi, hypertrichotic, palpable) and (if biopsied) histologic features of a CMN when the age of onset is not known. CNLN measuring 1.5 cm or larger (medium size for a CMN) are found in 1% to 4% of older children and adults.124–126 In an Italian study, 17% of 12- to 17-year-old children (592/3406) had a CMN/CNLN measuring 0.6 cm or larger in diameter.127
