Scope note: Presencia de nevos clínicamente atípicos (generalmente de más de 5 mm de diámetro, con pigmentación irregular y bordes mal definidos), con incremento del riesgo de desarrollo de melanoma cutáneo no familiar. La biopsia muestra displasia melanocítica. Los nevos son clínica e histológicamente idénticos a las lesiones precursoras del melanoma en el síndrome de nevos B-K. (Stedman, 25th ed)

Scope note: Clinically atypical nevi (usually exceeding 5 mm in diameter and having variable pigmentation and ill defined borders) with an increased risk for development of non-familial cutaneous malignant melanoma. Biopsies show melanocytic dysplasia. Nevi are clinically and histologically identical to the precursor lesions for melanoma in the B-K mole syndrome. (Stedman, 25th ed)
