Pigmented Lesions in Children: Update on Clinical, Histopathologic and Ancillary Testing
2022, Dermatologic ClinicsCitation Excerpt :It is now questioned, however, whether an axial location for large and giant CMN simply represents the most common site of involvement without independently portending a poor prognosis.12 During early infancy, a CMN may grow rapidly.17 In childhood, it is expected that a CMN will grow proportionally as a child grows.

2010, Pediatric Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Smaller lesions are thought to have lower risk for transformation than larger congenital nevi62 relative to the “nevus burden.” The risk for small CMN is controversial and is thought to be between and 0% and 4.0%,9,14,63,64 and for those with large or giant CMN the risk estimates are between 4.5% and 10.0%.62,65–71 Earlier estimates that were higher (as high as 42%) are now thought to be flawed from methodology or lack of improved histology.
