Defining the malignant potential of the giant pigmented nevus.

Abstract

An unusual giant pigmented nevus, containing lymphocytic infiltrates and apparent muscle invasion, but without the presence of melanoma, is described in detail--including its related immunological parameters. The controversy concerning the malignant potential of giant pigmented nevi, and the paradoxes that are encountered clinically, are discussed.
