Spitz’s Nevus Arising on a Nevus spilus

Dermatology, 2009
The first case of a solitary dermal Spitz’s nevus arising on a nevus spilus is described. This special variant of a combined Spitz’s nevus may cause difficulties in differential diagnosis from malignant melanoma in association with a nevus spilus.

JAMA Dermatology, 2016
A name should convey the etiology, morphology, or biology of the disease entity in question. In 1978, Clark et al1 described a melanoma-prone family with many nevi. The nevi in these family members were variable in size, shape, and color, and many of the nevi had relatively large diameters.

Dysplastic Nevus, Clark Nevus or Common Nevus?

2004

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1989
A 21-year-old man had a zosteriform nevus comedonicus associated with a surrounding hyperpigmented maculopapular eruption, which had the histologic appearance of epidermal nevus. Scanning electron microscopic examinations of the comedones and the surrounding epidermal nevus showed a common feature, that is, chrysanthemum-like keratotic plugs.

Desmoplastic Nevus: An entity Distinct From Spitz Nevus and Blue Nevus

The American Journal of Dermatopathology, 2011
Desmoplastic (sclerotic) nevus is an infrequently reported poorly characterized benign melanocytic proliferation, with only 4 case series published to date. To better define this nevus, we examined the clinical and histologic features of 25 lesions.
