| nevus pigmentosus | A benign pigmented melanocytic proliferation; raised or level with the skin, present at birth or arising early in life. Synonym: mole. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| nevus pilosus | A mole covered with an abundant growth of hair. Synonym: hairy mole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nevus sanguineus | <dermatology> Red or purple-coloured vascular skin markings that develop shortly after birth. Most are usually painless and benign and sharply demarcated from surrounding skin, usually located on the head and neck, and grow rapidly. It is caused by proliferation of immature capillary vessels in active stroma, and is usually present at birth or occurs within the first two or three months of life. Some lesions (cavernous haemangioma) will disappear or become harder to see as the child approaches school age. Localised steroid injections have been used successfully to reduce the size of a birthmark but generally they undergo spontaneous regression and involution without scarring and normally require no treatment. (07 Mar 2000) |
| nevus sebaceus | Congenital papillary acanthosis of the epidermis, with hyperplasia of sebaceous glands developing at puberty and presence of apocrine glands in non-apocrine areas of the skin (commonly the scalp). A variety of epithelial tumours may arise from a nevus sebaceus in adult life, most commonly basal cell carcinoma. Synonym: Jadassohn's nevus, organoid nevus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nevus spilus | A form of (flat) nevus pigmentosus. Synonym: spilus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nevus unius lateris | A congenital systematised linear nevus limited to one side of the body or to portions of the extremities on one side; lesions are often extensive, forming wave-like bands on the trunk and spiraling streaks on the extremities. Synonym: linear epidermal nevus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nevus vascularis | <dermatology> Red or purple-coloured vascular skin markings that develop shortly after birth. Most are usually painless and benign and sharply demarcated from surrounding skin, usually located on the head and neck, and grow rapidly. It is caused by proliferation of immature capillary vessels in active stroma, and is usually present at birth or occurs within the first two or three months of life. Some lesions (cavernous haemangioma) will disappear or become harder to see as the child approaches school age. Localised steroid injections have been used successfully to reduce the size of a birthmark but generally they undergo spontaneous regression and involution without scarring and normally require no treatment. (07 Mar 2000) |
| nevus venosus | A nevus formed of a patch of dilated venules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nevus, blue | A benign nevus, usually solitary, representing a localised proliferation of dermal melanocytes, which is manifested by a dark blue to black, moderately firm, rounded, sharply defined nodular tumour composed of spindle-shaped melanocytes with slender cytoplasmic processes, occurring often in association with melanin-laden macrophages in a sclerotic dermis. It is also called dermal melanocytoma and jadassohn-tieche nevus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nevus, epithelioid and spindle cell | A benign compound nevus occurring most often in children before puberty, composed of spindle and epithelioid cells located mainly in the dermis, sometimes in association with large atypical cells and multinucleate cells, and having a close histopathological resemblance to malignant melanoma. The tumour presents as a smooth to slightly scaly, round to oval, raised, firm papule or nodule, ranging in colour from pink-tan to purplish red, often with surface telangiectasia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nevus, intradermal | A nevus in which nests of melanocytes are found in the dermis, but not at the epidermal-dermal junction. Benign pigmented nevi in adults are most commonly intradermal. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nevus, pigmented | A nevus containing melanin. The term is usually restricted to nevocytic nevi (round or oval collections of melanin-containing nevus cells occurring at the dermoepidermal junction of the skin or in the dermis proper) or moles, but may be applied to other pigmented nevi. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nevus, spindle cell | A form of pigmented nevus showing intense melanocytic activity around the dermo-epidermal junction. Large numbers of spindle-shaped melanocytes proliferate downward toward the dermis and usually a large amount of pigment is present. It was first described in 1976 and the bulk of patients reported have been young females with the lesions presenting on the thighs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| compound nevus | A nevus in which there are nests of melanocytes in the epidermal-dermal junction and in the dermis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| congenital giant pigmented nevus | These large pigmented (often hairy) congenital nevi are important because of their increased risk (10 to 15%) of conversion into malignant melanoma. A biopsy can confirm if cells have turned malignant. Any change in a pre-existing nevus should prompt a physician evaluation. (27 Sep 1997) |
| woolly-hair nevus | A circumscribed patch of fine, curly hair in an otherwise normal scalp appearing during childhood and enlarging for a period of 2 to 3 years; autosomal dominant inheritance. There is another, mostly sporadic form that may be autosomal recessive. Synonym: allotrichia circumscripta. (05 Mar 2000) |
| congenital nevus | A melanocytic nevus that is visible at birth, is often larger than an acquired nevus, and more frequently involves deeper structures. (05 Mar 2000) |
| halo nevus | A benign, sometimes multiple, melanocytic nevus in which involution occurs with a central brown mole surrounded by a uniformly depigmented zone or halo. Synonym: leukoderma acquisitum centrifugum, Sutton's disease, Sutton's nevus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spider nevus | A branched growth of dilated capillaries on the skin, resembling a spider. This abnormality may be associated with cirrhosis of the liver. (27 Sep 1997) |
| spindle cell nevus | A benign, slightly pigmented or red superficial small skin tumour composed of spindle-shaped, epithelioid, and multinucleated cells that may appear atypical; most common in children, but also appearing in adults. Synonym: benign juvenile melanoma, epithelioid cell nevus, spindle cell nevus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Spitz nevus | A benign, slightly pigmented or red superficial small skin tumour composed of spindle-shaped, epithelioid, and multinucleated cells that may appear atypical; most common in children, but also appearing in adults. Synonym: benign juvenile melanoma, epithelioid cell nevus, spindle cell nevus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nape nevus | A pale vascular birthmark found on the nape of the neck in 25 to 50% of normal persons. Synonym: Unna's mark. (05 Mar 2000) |
| strawberry nevus | A small nevus vascularis (capillary haemangioma) resembling a strawberry in size, shape, and colour; it usually disappears spontaneously in early childhood. See: capillary haemangioma. Synonym: strawberry birthmark, strawberry mark. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Sutton's nevus | A benign, sometimes multiple, melanocytic nevus in which involution occurs with a central brown mole surrounded by a uniformly depigmented zone or halo. Synonym: leukoderma acquisitum centrifugum, Sutton's disease, Sutton's nevus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| systematised nevus | A developmental dysplasia of the skin; extensive, patterned, and usually unilateral. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dysplastic nevus | <syndrome> 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. (12 Dec 1998) |

1. any congenital lesion of the skin; a birthmark. 2. a circumscribed stable malformation of the skin and occasionally of the oral mucosa, which is not due to external causes and therefore presumed to be of hereditary origin. The excess (or deficiency) of tissue may involve epidermal, connective tissue, adnexal, nervous, or vascular elements; a cutaneous hamartoma.
