Punch transfer of Melanocytic nevus
author
Abstract:
Lateral labial melanocytic nevus or mole has cosmetic value among young or middle aged Iranian ladies particularly those with fair complexion. 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 the nevus was chosen. First the recipient site was punched out and discarded. Then the nevus was punched out and transplanted in the recipient site and dressed by dry gauze and fixed by adhesive tape. The transplanted nevus was attached to surrounding skin after 10 years. A superficial crust was developed and seen after removing the dressing 10 days later. Mild shrinkage in size and reduction in pigmentation was seen a month later, which gradually improved thereafter.

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...

Giant congenital melanocytic nevus is usually defined as a melanocytic lesion present at birth that will reach a diameter ≥ 20 cm in adulthood. Its incidence is estimated in <1:20,000 newborns. Despite its rarity, this lesion is important because it may associate with severe complications such as malignant melanoma, affect the central nervous system (neurocutaneous melanosis), and have major ps...

Congenital melanocytic nevus syndrome (CMNS) is the result of an abnormal proliferation of melanocytes in the skin and central nervous system caused by progenitor-cell mutations during embryonic development. Mutations in the NRAS gene have been detected in many of these cells. We present 5 cases of giant congenital melanocytic nevus, 3 of them associated with CMNS; NRAS gene mutation was studie...

The association of melanoma with a preexisting melanocytic nevus varies considerably between series, depending on whether the association is based on histological signs (4%-72%) or a clinically evident lesion (42%-85%). Histological association with a nevus correlates with favorable prognostic factors, whereas a clinical association correlates with unfavorable factors. In this review, we discus...
