The giant congenital melanocytic nevus is a large pigmented lesion present at birth. Its incidence is 1 / 1,000-500,000 newborns. The most frequent location is the posterior trunk, the face, the scalp and the extremities. We decided with the presentation of this clinical case to offer an updated review on the evaluation at birth, behavior and treatment to be followed by neonatologists, primary care pediatrician before the unexpected presence of dermatopathies not as frequent as the one we are dealing with today, the "nevus" giant congenital melanocytic ". The importance of this pathology lies in the impactful problems from the aesthetic, surgical and emotional point of view that can originate in the patient and their relatives, in addition to the possible association with other malformations of the central nervous system and in some of them, the risk of being the origin of a melanoma.
