Abstract
It is recognized that cells of melanocytic naevi may resemble neuroid structures and the term neurotization has been used to describe this p henomenon. This may result in difficulty in the histological different iation between naevi and neurofibromas. We report the case of a patien t with a giant bathing trunk naevus which has undergone marked neuroti zation and in whom there had been diagnostic difficulty.
