Congenital Melanocytic Nevus: Considerations for Neonatal Clinicians and a Parent Perspective.

Abstract

Congenital melanocytic nevus (CMN) or nevi, also known as dark moles, are present at birth. While small CMN are quite common, large and giant nevi are rare and can be associated with significant psychological distress and the potential for further clinical sequelae. Neonatal clinicians can offer anticipatory guidance to families through distribution of resources and navigation to additional consultants.
