Abstract

Giant congenital melanocytic nevi (GCMN) can be cosmetically significant and can lead to melanoma. There is no standard pharmacologic treatment for GCMN. We present the case of an 8-year-old female with kaposiform lymphangiomatosis caused by an NRAS mutation whose nevus spilus-type GCMN improved on oral selumetinib.
