Abstract/OtherAbstract:
An unconventional symposium on the subject of pathogenetic, clinical, and therapeutic aspects of large and giant congenital melanocytic nevi and neurocutaneous melanocytosis, was held at the University of Tübingen, Germany, on May 6-7, 2011. Exchanges were made between physicians from a wide range of clinical disciplines, including pathology, dermatology, plastic and pediatric surgery, neurosurgery, pediatric neurology and genetics; basic scientists in cell and developmental biology; psychologists; and an unprecedented gathering of international patient advocacy group representatives. This diversity of outlooks brought fresh perspectives to the discussions about current scientific and therapeutic advances in the field of these rare congenital diseases and their oncogenic associations. A roadmap for future actions sketched out promising therapeutic developments to follow and fostering of interdisciplinary collaboration among all the involved parties.
