Surgical treatment of CHILD nevus.
We report a young girl with an unusual manifestation of CHILD syndrome in whom skin lesions showed involvement of the right side of her neck as well as symmetrically distributed ptychotropic involvement of the large body folds. Excision resulted in improvement and finally healing of skin lesions within the submammary folds, where breast reduction was also performed, whereas excision of axillary lesions and subsequent grafting with split skin turned out to be unsuccessful.
