Dysplastic nevus classification
Overview
Dysplastic nevus is a type of melanocytic lesion.
Classification
Most dermatologists and dermatopathologists use a system devised by the NIH for classifying melanocytic lesions.
In this classification, a nevus can be defined as benign, having atypia, or being a melanoma.
- A benign nevus is read as (or understood as) having no cytologic or architectural atypia.
- An atypical mole is read as having architectural atypia, and having (mild, moderate, or severe) cytologic (melanocytic) atypia.[1]
