Background/objectives: Congenital melanocytic naevi (CMN) are a risk factor for melanoma. Melanoma risk is dependent on the congenital phenotype. Our primary aims were to assess the clinical characteristics of CMN that indicate a high risk of neurocutaneous melanosis (NCM) and melanoma in an Australian paediatric population group; to identify patient characteristics and clinical features of CMN that trigger further investigations; and to determine the rate of malignancy and other complications for CMN.

Oral melanocytic nevi (OMN) are rare benign tumors originating from melanocytes with an unclear pathogenesis. The current theory suggests that OMN originate from dormant dendritic melanocytes that become enclosed in the dermis during the embryonic migration of melanoblasts - the precursors of melanocytes - from the neural crest to the epidermis. OMN can be congenital or acquired, with acquired nevi being more common.

Introduction: Melanoma arising in blue nevus (BN) is usually evident on histopathology. However, there are cases in the gray zone where neither morphology nor immunostains and molecular studies are conclusive.
Case Report: A 33-year-old man presented with greenish discoloration of the abdominal skin at birth.
The ambulatory surgeon deals daily with patients who come for various pigmented skin lesions. A number of patients come on the recommendation of a dermatologist, but for the majority of patients, the primary visit is directly to the surgical clinic. The reason for removing a pigmented lesion may be an unsatisfactory cosmetic appearance or frequent irritation due to inappropriate location of the lesion, but also the fear of the development of malignancy.
