This large (7 by 11 mm) macular lesion displays an irregular, scalloped border, which is indistinct in some areas. In addition to hues of tan and brown, several pink areas (arrows) are present. The presence of pink colors in the macular portion of a melanocytic nevus is quite distinctive for dysplastic nevi. Credit: Unknown photographer/artist.

This lesion has a dark brown, "pebbly" elevated surface against a lighter tan, macular background. The irregular, indistinct margin of the nevus helps to distinguish it from the small congenital-pattern nevus, which some dysplastic nevi closely resemble clinically. Its distinctive morphology, not its size (6 by 6 mm), identifies it as a dysplastic nevus. Credit: Unknown photographer/artist.

Superficial spreading melanoma arising from a dysplastic nevus. The 4-by-8-mm, pink-tan lesion with irregular borders at the upper left (arrow) is a dysplastic nevus. Arising from it is an invasive malignant melanoma, with its characteristic blue-black color, notched border, and distorted surface. The gray area at the lower left represents tumor regression.

Dysplastic nevus evolving into malignant melanoma. This 40-year-old female member of a melanoma-prone family had a cluster of moles located on her back (a), which were believed to represent dysplastic nevi and were photographed to facilitate subsequent follow-up. When reexamined 18 months later, the upper dysplastic nevus (arrow) had developed a new 3-mm black nodule (shown in this slide), which proved to be invasive malignant melanoma arising in a dysplastic nevus.
