Nevi are common skin tumors caused by abnormal overgrowth of cells from the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin. Most nevi are benign, but some pre-cancerous nevi must be monitored or removed. The giant congenital nevus is greater than 10 cm in size, pigmented and often hairy. Between 4% and 6% of these lesions will develop into a malignant melanoma. Since approximately 50% of the melanoma develop by the age of two, and 80% by the age of seven, early removal is recommended. The objective of this paper is to present a unique case of giant nevi and their surgical management.
痣是由皮肤表皮和真皮层细胞异常过度生长引起的常见皮肤肿瘤。大多数痣是良性的，但一些癌前痣必须进行监测或切除。巨大先天性痣大小超过10厘米，有色素沉着且通常有毛发。这些病变中有4%至6%会发展为恶性黑色素瘤。由于约50%的黑色素瘤在两岁前发病，80%在七岁前发病，因此建议尽早切除。本文的目的是介绍一例巨大痣的独特病例及其手术治疗方法。
