Introduction
Congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) are cutaneous lesions characterized
histologically by benign proliferations of melanocytes1. GCMN in compare to CMN are deeper and extend more
profound with irregular in margin, dark coloured and covered with coarse
hair2. Neurocutaneous melanoma is associated with GCMN
which indicated bad prognosis of the disease3.
Here we report a case of GCMN in a child in Afghanistan to highlight
this pathology to the attention of clinicians. Although a recent report
was published about an Afghan child with GCMN in Iran4, to the best of our knowledge, GCMN has not been
reported from inside Afghanistan.
