title: Spontaneous resolution of a giant congenital melanocytic nevus.
abstract: This is the second report of a case of spontaneous resolution of a giant congenital melanocytic nevus, which was documented both by photographs and skin biopsies. Cases of spontaneous resolution of these lesions may represent a vigorous host response against an aberrant clone of melanocytes.
