Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The presence of multiple atypical nevi or numerous melanocytic nevi increases the risk for the development of cutaneous melanoma. OBJECTIVE: We sought to describe a distinct clinical phenotype characterized by numerous (>100), small (< or =4 mm), darkly pigmented melanocytic nevi that are uniform in color. METHODS: Biopsy specimens from 6 patients (3 men and 3 women; age range, 44 to 81 years) with...
