Sclerotic Regressing Large Congenital Nevus

Aikaterini Patsatsi et al. Pediatr Dermatol. 2016 Nov.

Abstract

Regression of congenital nevi is usually associated with loss of pigment or halo formation. In rare cases, regression is characterized by sclerosis and hair loss. We describe a rare case of a sclerotic hypopigmented large congenital melanocytic nevus in which a localized scleroderma-like reaction process of regression seemed to have started in utero and progressed throughout early childhood.
