ABSTRACT
Malignant melanoma developed on the scalp at the site of a congenital nevus in a 7-year-old girl. At birth, simple observation was proposed, despite the recognized desirable but non-urgent indication for excision, in order to avoid subjecting the infant to general anesthesia. At the first sign of a change in the macroscopic appearance of the nevus, surgical resection was performed, but the short-term outcome was fatal.... This case focuses our attention on malignant progression of even small congenital nevi and emphasizes the need for early preventive and systematic resection even when the patient's age of the patient requires general anesthesia.
