Abstract
Giant congenital nevi, especially on the head and neck, pose a challenge for plastic
surgeons. This requires extensive experience in detailed planning, combining different
techniques, and selecting appropriate materials for reconstruction. There have been
reports of using a tissue expander, serial resection method, and full-thickness skin
grafts for this type of nevus. However, the best way to completely remove a giant
congenital nevus is endless. In this article, we would like to present a case of a
left hemifacial giant congenital nevus in which we used multiple tissue expansion
to fully replace the nevus, along with some of our modification techniques.
