Medical treatment
Dysplastic nevi are associated with increased risk of melanoma, management includes risk evaluation along with other procedures. The mainstay of therapy for dysplastic nevus is surgery, however radiation therapy or chemotherapy may be incorporated in metastatic disease. Surgical excision of dysplastic nevi is generally recommended with a positive histologic margin.
Dysplastic nevi can be categorized into risk categories:
- Mildly, mildly-to-moderately, and moderately dysplastic nevi generally appearing as low-risk lesions,
- Moderately-to-severely and severely dysplastic nevi appearing to carry a higher risk for coexistent or future melanoma.
