Congenital melanocytic nevi may be divided into the following types: [6]: 690–1 Small-sized congenital melanocytic nevus is defined as having a diameter less than 2 cm (0.79 in). [6]: 690 Medium-sized congenital melanocytic nevus is defined as having a diameter more than 2 cm (0.79 in) but less than 20 cm (7.9 in). [6]: 690

Neurocutaneous melanosis is associated with the presence of either giant congenital melanocytic nevi or non-giant nevi of the skin. It is estimated that neurocutaneous melanosis is present in 2% to 45% of patients with giant congenital melanocytic nevi. Patients with non-giant congenital melanocytic nevi seem to have a much lower, but undefined ...
