I describe auto transplantation of a melanocytic nevus from a remote area of the body to lateral labial skin. After selection of a 3-mm nevus, both donor and recipient sites were anesthetized. A punch with a diameter comparable to the diameter of t...

Blaschkolinear congenital melanocytic nevus.

common acquired nevi and an otherwise normal clinical examination. Congenital melanocytic nevi are often classified according to their size [1] . Another attempt of classification in two groups has recently been proposed: type I, the most frequent, with a single lesion involving one anatomic area and type II, less common, with a larger lesion and dozens of smaller ones, with a similar pattern o...
