[edit on Wikidata] A melanocytic nevus (also known as nevocytic nevus) is a type of lesion that contains nevus cells (a type of melanocyte). Some sources equate the term mole with melanocytic nevus. Other sources reserve the term mole for other purposes.
Features consistent with a benign nevus of common type are: Symmetry. Circumscription. Cells arranged in cohesive nests with relative uniformity of the nevus cells and fairly regular spacing of the nests. Nests located at the tips of the rete ridges (for junctional and compound nevi) Lack of pagetoid spread.
