Abdominoplasty in infants for removal of giant congenital nevi: a report of three cases.
The abdominal wall of the infant presents a significant skin excess. Applying techniques of aesthetic abdominoplasty, it is possible to excise extensive abdominal wall lesions, as often seen in children with congenital hairy nevi. Three cases of congenital nevi were handled in this manner and are presented. One case involved the upper abdomen, while the other two involved the lower abdomen.
