I was born in the United States in 1955 and by the age of 4 months had developed a strawberry naevus on my neck. |
Choroidal naevus and congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium account for a high proportion of pigmentary lesions referred to secondary care. |
Also known as naevus flammeus, port-wine stains are present at birth and do not improve with time. |
The naevus is a discrete, flat or slightly elevated sessile lesion. |
This technique can also be applied successfully to the treatment of various medical conditions of the skin of the face which are inappropriate for surgery, such as epidermal naevus. |
Lisch nodules are pigmented hamartomatous naevus, which occur from proliferation of melanocytes and fibroblasts. |
