Prepubertal Melanoma Arising within a Medium-Sized Congenital Melanocytic Nevus.

Pediatric dermatology - 1 Nov 2016

Lalor Leah, Busam Klaus, Shah Kara

Abstract excerpt

We report the case of an 8-year-old child who developed a 9.4-mm-deep melanoma within a medium-sized congenital melanocytic nevus on the scalp. Genetic analysis revealed an activating NRAS Q61R mutation within the melanoma, which is more commonly associated with large or giant congenital melanocytic nevi. This case demonstrates that even a "low-risk" congenital melanocytic nevus at a "low-risk" age must be...
