Spitz nevus


A Spitz nevus (also known as an epithelioid and spindle-cell nevus, benign juvenile melanoma, and "Spitz's juvenile melanoma") is a benign melanocytic nevus, a type of skin lesion, affecting the epidermis and dermis.
The name juvenile melanoma is generally no longer used as it is misleading: it is not a melanoma, it is a benign lesion; and it can also occur in adults, not only in children.
