The giant congenital nevus affects a considerable number of children who may be accompanied by proliferating nodules that in some cases become melanoma. We illustrate through a medical observation a case of giant congenital nevi with nodules of histologically confirmed proliferations with a clinical course inclining towards a melanoma demonstrating the difficulty histological diagnosis to differentiate between the two. The literature review confirms the problem of clinical differentiation, histological and evolutionary between these two diagnoses we push to look for other alternatives to decide and have a positive diagnosis and therefore adequate and especially early care of these cases
