Abstract
DATA ARE available in the English literature relating to the growth and natural history of congenital nevi and dysplastic nevi.1,2 Only limited data exist on the modifications observed over time in acquired common melanocytic nevi, and, to our knowledge, the frequency and characteristics of enlarging common nevi have never been assessed in an epidemiological study.Keywords
