A giant pigmented nevus grew rapidly as several discrete tumors at different locations in the scalp of a 5-mo-old child. One tumor located beneath the skin in the occipital calvarium invaded bone and dura mater. Five years after the excision of the larger tumors, the child was asymptomatic having no further evidence of recurrence or continued growth of the neoplasma. In view of the propensity for giant pigmented nevi to concomitantly involve the central nervous system (leptomeningeal melanocytosis) and to rarely give rise to melanomas, this case is reported as demonstrating the subsequent benign behavior of a tumor that at first presented alarming growth, suggesting malignancy.
一名5个月大儿童的头皮不同部位出现几个离散的肿瘤，一个巨大色素痣迅速生长。枕部颅骨皮下的一个肿瘤侵犯了骨骼和硬脑膜。切除较大肿瘤五年后，患儿无症状，没有肿瘤复发或继续生长的进一步证据。鉴于巨大色素痣易伴发中枢神经系统受累（软脑膜黑素细胞增多症）且很少发生黑色素瘤，本文报告此病例以展示一个起初生长令人担忧、提示恶性的肿瘤随后的良性行为。
