Desmoplastic nevus: clinicopathologic keynotes

Am J Dermatopathol. 2009 Oct;31(7):718-22. doi: 10.1097/DAD.0b013e3181a9f0ee.

Abstract

We describe 3 cases of desmoplastic nevus with special emphasis on some repetitive dermoscopic and histopathologic features, which-if confirmed on larger series-could allow to identify desmoplastic nevus as a specific clinicopathologic entity within the spectrum of acquired melanocytic nevi.
