Proceso de atención de enfermería en una embarazada con nevus melanocitico congenito+edema vulvar gigante.

Abstract

Melanocytic nevi are defined as abnormal cytological lesions made up of highly pigmented melanomas with the ability to group and invade epithelial tissue. The literature reports that it appears in 1 in every 20,000 to 50,000 live births. They are classified according to their size, taking the name of small melanocytic nevus if their dimension is less than 1.5cm, medium melanocytic nevus when their measurement is between 1.5 to 19.9cm and giant those that maintain a size greater than 20cm or that reach expand in an area measuring about 120 cm. The characteristics do not depend on the size since they can be plexiform, corrugated, hairy or pigmented. These nevi in pregnancy are more pigmented and prominent, which makes it difficult for the end of pregnancy to be satisfactory, especially when it comes to the closure of surgical wounds or when it has gone from melanocytic nevus to melanoma.
