| nevus c. |
a polymorphic, melanin-containing cell variously postulated to be a normal mature melanocyte or a modified one, or to be derived from a Schwann cell or an embryonal nevoblast. Such cells occur in aggregations, or nests (theques), in the epidermis and reach the dermis by a kind of centripetal extrusion (abtropfung), and are the main constituents of nevocytic nevi. Called also nevocyte.
