Garment-like giant congenital melanocytic nevi are very rare, and those being treated are most often offered excision and split-thickness skin transplantation. Due to the risk of restricted mobility secondary to shrinkage and hypertrophic scarring of the transplant, we treated to date the largest reported giant congenital melanocytic nevus (16% total body surface area) with Integra dermal regen...

Desmoplastic melanocytic nevi can be difficult to distinguish from desmoplastic melanoma. The presence of lymphocytic aggregates in association with a sclerosing melanocytic proliferation is commonly regarded as a feature in support of a diagnosis of desmoplastic melanoma.

A 40-year-old patient presented with a papule on the calf with irregular brown pigmentation (Figure 1). On dermatoscopy the lesion was composed of segmental radial lines and structureless zones. Discrete reticular lines were also seen but they were also present in the surrounding normal skin. The pigmentation did not extend towards the edge of the visible scar.

The lesion was asymptomatic. Histopatholog...
