AB SUMMARYCongenital  melanocytic  nevi  are  nevomelanocytic  proliferations  that  develop  during  embryogenesis  and  present  at  or  shortly  after  birth.Patients  with  large  (>20  cm)  congenital  melanocytic  nevi  and  multiple  lesions  are  at  increased  risk  for  central  nervous  system  complications  and  cutaneous  melanoma.Although  current  management  is  supportive—consisting  of  regular  examinations,  symptomatic  treatment,  and,  possibly,  surgical  removal—promising  future  treatments,  including  targeted  therapies,  may  improve  quality  of  life  for  these  patients.
