Luna Tavares-Fenner was born on the 7th of March, 2019, and her story quickly went viral. The media around the world named her the girl with the “Batman face” because of the characteristic birthmark Luna was born with. An extensive dark mark covering most of the girl’s little face was a huge surprise for the parents and the medical team assisting during labor. As doctors soon discovered, the birthmark was an unusual facial feature and a dangerous threat to the girl’s life. It turned out to be an extremely rare skin condition called congenital melanocytic nevi.Immediate action was necessary, leading Luna to undergo multiple surgeries to remove the mark. Since the procedure was quite innovative and unavailable in local clinics at the time, Luna’s parents, Carolina and Thiago, decided to travel all the way to Russia to start the treatment promptly. The doctors carefully planned the entire treatment for Luna, though the duration and full recovery remained uncertain. By age 2, Luna had already undergone six surgeries, with breaks given for healing and rest. The medical treatment proved successful in preventing possible skin cancer for the young toddler. However, the journey was not yet over as the last stage of treatment involved ongoing aesthetic surgeries.

Asked how the decision about the treatment was made, Carolina explained: “The decision was indeed made when the doctor in Russia discovered the presence of three cancers associated with her condition. Prior to that, we were uncertain about proceeding with surgery since we had no knowledge of the existence of these three melanomas.”
