Congenital melanocytic nevi are common subject of scientific debates nowadays, because of their possibility for transformation in malignant melanoma, although relatively rare. The diagnosis is difficult, due to their non-specific clinical and histological presentation, while the therapeutic methods are varied, depending on their size and localization. Surgical excision, however, is the most secure among them, because a complete removal of the lesion could be achieved, which, firstly provides a prevention of a possible malignant transformation, as well as this approach provides material for histological examination. We present a case of a 23-year-old female patient with congenital melanocytic nevus, located on the upper back, which increased significantly its size during her pregnancy, successfully treated by single surgical excision, with excellent aesthetic results.
