Spitz nevus or melanoma?
Seminars in Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery 1999 March
Spitz nevi are benign melanocytic neoplasms of children and young adults that can be exceedingly difficult to distinguish from malignant melanomas. Although a nearly definite diagnosis can be made in most cases, the histological distinction between Spitz nevi and melanomas is equivocal in about 6% to 8% of cases. In those cases, and perhaps even with presumed benign Spitz nevi, clear surgical margins are desirable. The most helpful differentiating features of Spitz nevi are patient age, sharp demarcation, symmetry, maturation of melanocytes at the base, and epithelial hyperplasia. None of these criteria are completely reliable, and multiple other criteria must be considered as well.
