Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Melanocytic nevi have been reported in association with several congenital syndromes. This review describes the clinical and cutaneous manifestations of six syndromes associated with congenital melanocytic nevi, two associated with acquired nevi, and six associated with melanocytic nevi in which insufficient evidence exists to classify them as congenital or acquired. It is important to recognize these associations to evaluate and counsel patients with melanocytic nevi. Early recognition will also facilitate timely intervention.
