Introduction: giant melanocyte congenital nevus in rare, its incidence is 1 to every 20.000 or to 50.000 live births.Clinical case: a neonate is examined at birth, physical assessment of skin showed the presence of black pigmented lesions covering a great part of the trunk and sacral region, along with portions of skin having equal characteristics of hypertrichosis and smaller satellite lesions with all-body dissemination and scalp. Clinical diagnosis was giant melanocyte congenital nevus with multiple satellite nevi, without other associated malformations or neurological damage. The patient was discharged having dermatology, genetics and pediatrics follow-up.
Conclusions: in the existence of giant melanocyte congenital nevus located in the posterior axial axis or the presence of satellite lesions, neurocutaneous melanosis or associated malformations must be investigated. Periodical controls should be performed because of the risk for melanoma development.
