Abstract

We describe a case of giant congenital melanocytic nevus with placental villous involvement in an otherwise uncomplicated pregnancy. Only four similar cases have been reported in the world literature. Nevomelanocytes were found in both villous stoma and fetal capillaries. No neonatal or maternal adverse effects were observed 5 years after diagnosis in the present case.
