Congenital melanocytic nevi are benign lesions present at birth and considered to be caused by a maldevelopment of the neural crest. The malignant potential of the congenital melanocytic nevi have been extensively addressed by several authors, and malignant melanoma is the most frequent neoplasm arising in these lesions. The present report describes two patients with congenital melanocytic nevi in which malignant melanoma with undifferentiated areas showing rhabdomyoblastic differentiation developed. The findings suggest that these mixed neoplasms may be recapitulating the differentiation potential of the ectomesenchyme-neural crest cells. We advocate the term "melanoblastoma" when referring to them.
