After earlier anecdotal reports [1,2], the controversial history of these controversial lesions began in 1948 when Sophie Spitz described 13 cases of what she called “juvenile melanoma,” underlining its presumably good pr...
متن کاملThe Spectrum of Spitz Nevi
Main Outcome Measure: Frequency of dermoscopic patterns within the different histopathologic subtypes of Spitz nevi. Results: Overlapping clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathologic findings were observed among PSN, RN, and PSRN, thereby justifying their inclusion into the single PSRN diagnostic category. Asymmetry was the most frequent indicator of histopathologic ASN (79%; n=11); in only 4 cas...

BACKGROUND It is unclear whether pigmented Spitz and Reed nevi are distinct morphologic entities or part of the spectrum of Spitz nevi. METHODS In a retrospective observational study we analyzed dermatopathologic slides of 22 cases with clinical and dermatoscopic features indicative of pigmented Spitz or Reed nevus in a blinded fashion according to predefined criteria and subsequently correla...
