Abstract:
We sent questionnaires to pediatric dermatologists inquiring whether anyone had seen a child with halo nevi that developed into melanoma. None of the respondents reported having seen such a development. We conclude that typical halo nevi in children are usually benign and a skin biopsy is probably not necessary.
