GIANT HAIRY NEVUS

Giant hairy nevus of the face

This young woman came the last day of the trip. She has a giant hairy nevus of the face. This has a significant potential to develop melanoma and, of course, is cosmetically debilitating for the patient. We plan excision with cervico-facial flaps and grafts in the near future. Treatment will require multiple operations. She is ecstatic that hope is nigh.
