Only seven cases of giant congenital melanocytic nevi have been reported in Korea, of which none of the cases were associated with hemangioma. Herein, the authors describe a case of giant congenital melanocytic nevi with huge hemangioma with the pathologic findings that exhibited benign and provide a literature review.
