Abstract

An unusual giant pigmented nevus, containing lymphocytic infiltrates and apparent muscle invasion, but without the presence of melanoma, is described in detail--including its related immunological parameters. The controversy concerning the malignant potential of giant pigmented nevi, and the paradoxes that are encountered clinically, are discussed.
