[Congenital pseudomelanoma].
Benign congenital melanocytic nevi, removed shortly after birth, may histologically be misinterpreted as malignant melanomas. We present the criteria for the differential diagnosis. As a name for these unusual melanocytic tumors, which belong to the large group of pseudomalignancies of the skin, we suggest the term 'congenital pseudomelanoma'.
