ABSTRACT
Introduction: Congenital melanocytic nevi is a melanocytic pigmented lesion, which is usually present at birth. Dermatoscopy is a useful technique in the diagnosis of nevi.Objective: To examine the clinical and dermatoscopic characteristics of pediatric patients with congenital melanocytic nevi.
Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive type research. The data obtained were analyzed through the SPSS 21.0 statistical package. The methods of descriptive statistics were used.
Results: The most common clinical change was growth, in 76 (47.8%) nevi. The most compromised location was in the upper members with 28 (17.6%) nevi. There was a statistically significant relation (p< 0.05) among the size of the nevi and the location in photoexposed areas with the presence of clinical changes. The cobbled pattern (27.7%) was the most common; however, the globular pattern (24.5%) was observed in all locations. None of the detected nevi worsen towards malignant melanoma.
Conclusions: Most congenital melanocytic nevi are shown from birth. The presence of clinical changes was most evident in photoexposed regions. No nevi was observed with dermatoscopic structures or patterns related to malignancy.
