Disease State: Congenital Melanocytic Naevi
Background
Presence of large congenital melanocytic naevi (CMN) is associated with psychosocial burden on patients and parents because of its remarkable appearance and additional care it may require. Large CMN also pose an increased risk of malignant melanoma or neurocutaneous melanosis. There is a lack of international consensus on which domains are important to measure in relation to treatment, making it difficult to compare treatemnt options and guide treatment standards for CMN.
Project Goal
To develop a COS for clinical care and interventional treatments (laser, excision, curettage, watchful waiting) for large CMN (≥1.5cm on face or ≥ 10cm elsewhere).
