DOI: 10.7247/jiumf.19.3.9 Cerebriform intradermal nevus (CIN) is a congenital tumoral abnormality of the scalp. The incidence of development of malignant melanoma in CIN can rise up to 10%. Surgical excision of the lesion is the sole treatment modality for CIN. In this case, we present the 10year follow-up of a 45-day-old infant with congenital CIN covering 75% of his scalp who had scalp reconstruction by sequential tissue expansion. Sequential tissue expansion processes with rectangular-shaped…
