Melanin pigments in the melanocytic nevus regress spontaneously after inactivation by high hydrostatic pressure.

Melanin pigments in the melanocytic nevus regress spontaneously after inactivation by high hydrostatic pressure.

We report a novel treatment for giant congenital melanocytic nevi (GCMN) that involves the reuse of resected nevus tissue after high hydrostatic pressurization (HHP). However, the remaining melanin pigments in the inactivated nevus tissue pose a problem; therefore, we performed a long-term observati...
