“…As a result, early childhood treatment is now widely acknowledged. 7,8 Based on the assumption that surgery would reduce the risk of complications and had significant effects on relaxing local symptoms and improving the appearance, resection and reconstructive surgery remained the primary treatment for decades. 9,10 There are numerous surgical techniques available, the most basic and often used including serial excision, 11 tissue expansion, 12 and skin grafting.…”

Objective Treating large/giant congenital melanocytic nevus (L/GCMN) is challenging for surgeons. Operative approaches commonly used to remove L/GCMN include serial excision, tissue expansion, and skin grafting. Thus, we retrospectively compared these three operations' applications and therapeutic effects. Methods The clinical data of 97 L/GCMN patients from June 1, 2015, to June 1, 2019, were collected and divided into three groups according to the operations used: serial excision group (SE group, n = 18), tissue expansion group (TE group, n = 23), and skin grafting group (SG group, n = 56). The location and size of the lesion, the number of operations, duration of each operation, preoperative preparation time, postoperative hospital stay, complications, and clinical outcomes of all patients were collected and assessed. Results The SE group had the most times of operation (3.9 and 6.0 for LCMN and GCMN, respectively), the shortest surgery length (56.3 min), and the shortest postoperative hospital stay (10.0d). The SE and SG groups required much less time to prepare for surgery and had a lower rate of complications than the TE group. During the 11.9‐month median follow‐up period, the SE and TE groups had better postoperative outcomes than the SG group. Conclusion Each of the three operations has different advantages and disadvantages, and the specific surgical strategy should be decided based on the patient's unique circumstances.

“…The quantitative risk of malignant transformation to melanoma is unknown. Some studies have reported that there could be a 1% chance for small and medium CMN and 5% for larger CMN, with about half the risk in the first few years of life [2]. Approximately 50% of melanoma develops by age two and 80% by age seven; thus, surgery at an early age is recommended [2][3][4].…”

Removal of a large or giant facial CMN requires a suitable donor site and often multiple procedures to achieve the best esthetic outcome.…”
