Abstract
Abstract Giant congenital melanocytic nevi are usually an aesthetic challenge, especially in very exposed areas of the body. A multidisciplinary approach is suggested to achieve the best result for surgical management and long-term follow-up of these lesions. We present a patient with a frontoparietal giant melanocytic congenital nevus where reconstructive surgical treatment was thanks to the joint efforts between a plastic surgeon, who performed a partial excision W-plasty to re-create a hairline, and a hair restoration surgeon, who performed preview long hair FUE to achieve optimal scalp-nevus coverage.
