Atypical lentiginous nevus, also atypical lentiginous nevus of the elderly, is a melanocytic lesion associated with old age and melanoma.
It can be considered a type of dysplastic nevus.[1][2]
General
- Associated with malignant melanoma.[3]
Gross
- Pigmented lesion.
- Size: 0.3-1.0 cm.[4]
Microscopic
Features:[4]
- Elongated rete ridges - key feature.
- Superficial dermal fibrosis, diffuse (non-lamellar) - important.
- Mild-to-moderated cytologic atypia.
DDx:[4]
- Lentiginous melanoma.
- Dysplastic nevus - lamellar fibrosis.
- Lentigo simplex.
- Lentigo maligna.
- Solar lentigo.
- Lentiginous nevus.
