title: The management of patients with dysplastic and congenital nevi.
abstract: Although both dysplastic and congenital nevi appear to have a greater-than-expected risk for evolving into malignant melanoma, the magnitude of that risk is uncertain. For this reason, the management of patients with these lesions remains controversial. The National Institutes of Health Consensus Conference guidelines are presented with specific recommendations for the management of patients.
