Although giant congenital melanocytic nevus (GCMN) is regarded as premalignant, the incidence and risk factors of malignant transformation are controversial.
This study aimed to share the authors' surgical experience with GCMNs and provide data on their demographics, malignant transformation, and prognosis.
This single-center, consecutive study included 152 patients with GCMN who visited this center from March 2000 to February 2020. Their medical documentation was reviewed retrospectively, and the nevi were classified according to the size as follows: Group 1, 10 to 19.9 cm (n = 45); Group 2, 20 to 39.9 cm (n = 62); and Group 3, ≥40 cm (n = 45).
Seven malignancies were found (4.6%; 4 melanomas, 2 rhabdomyosarcomas [RMS], and 1 malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor [MPNST]). The risk increased according to the nevus size (2.2% in Group 1, 3.2% in Group 2, and 8.9% in Group 3) but the difference was not statistically significant (p = .3305).
Malignant transformation from GCMN cannot be ignored. It can include transformation into melanoma, RMS, and MPNST. Early surgical resection and regular follow-up should be performed in patients with nevi ≥10 cm.
尽管先天性巨大黑素细胞痣(GCMN)被认为是癌前病变,但恶性转化的发生率和危险因素仍存在争议。
本研究旨在分享作者在 GCMN 方面的手术经验,并提供有关其人口统计学、恶性转化和预后的数据。
这是一项单中心、连续研究,纳入了 2000 年 3 月至 2020 年 2 月期间来我院就诊的 152 例 GCMN 患者。回顾性分析其病历资料,并根据大小将痣分为以下三组:1 组,10 至 19.9 cm(n = 45);2 组,20 至 39.9 cm(n = 62);3 组,≥40 cm(n = 45)。
发现 7 例恶性肿瘤(4.6%;4 例黑色素瘤,2 例横纹肌肉瘤[RMS],1 例恶性外周神经鞘瘤[MPNST])。根据痣的大小,风险增加(1 组为 2.2%,2 组为 3.2%,3 组为 8.9%),但差异无统计学意义(p =.3305)。
不能忽视 GCMN 的恶性转化。它可以包括黑色素瘤、横纹肌肉瘤和恶性外周神经鞘瘤的转化。对于直径≥10 cm 的痣,应尽早进行手术切除和定期随访。
