[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.
Epidermal hyperplasia overlying a melanocytic nevus is a phenomenon reported in up to one-third of all melanocytic nevi. Acral compound melanocytic nevus with pagetoid migration. Note the column of melanin within the stratum corneum, which typically is a reassuring finding in benign acral nevi.
