Pediatr Dermatol. 1995 Sep;12(3):260-2. doi: 10.1111/j.1525-1470.1995.tb00173.x.

Abstract

We present an infant born with a giant congenital pigmented nevus. The placenta revealed nests of nevus cells in the chorionic villi on the fetal side of circulation. These findings are consistent with four reports in the literature to date.
