Case 3. Discussant: Louis P. Dehner, M.D.
The patient is a 6 week old female who presented with a large congenital nevus which involved the gluteal regions and extended onto the lower extremities. Initially there was an ulcerated nodule associated with this lesion on the posterior trunk which apparently underwent near complete resolution but over a period of a week or so a mass developed in the region of the previously ulcerated nodule. Sections are from an excision of this mass which measured 6.5 x 5.5 cm.
