Key Points

To document the long-term clinical and dermoscopic evolution of a desmoplastic giant congenital melanocytic nevus presenting without alopecia over a ten-year surveillance period.
Monitored a single patient with a desmoplastic giant congenital melanocytic nevus using serial digital dermoscopy over a 10-year follow-up duration.
Evaluated sequential dermoscopic features and localized hair follicle preservation to detect signs of malignant transformation or hair loss.
Demonstrated persistent dermoscopic stability without structural or pigmentary changes indicative of melanoma over 10 years.
Confirmed the ongoing presence of follicular units and hair growth within the lesion, demonstrating the persistent absence of alopecia.
