Overview
Presence of several melanocytic nevi is a strong risk factor for melanoma. Whole body nevus count can help in stratifying the high risk patients prone to developing malignant lesions.
Screening
- Presence of several melanocytic nevi is a strong risk factor for melanoma.
- In case of presence of numerous melanocytic nevi, one may perform whole body nevus count to identify at-risk patients.[1]
- Two methods to count the nevus are used, whole body nevus count or the site-specific count.[2]
