Overview
Dysplastic nevus can progress to melanoma if it is not treated adequately. Complications of dysplastic nevi include melanoma and metastasis.
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Dysplastic nevus can progress to melanoma if it is not treated adequately. Complications of dysplastic nevi include melanoma and metastasis. Atypical nevi usually first appear during puberty and may develop throughout life. Atypical nevi are dynamic in their clinical appearance. The presence of atypical nevi is a strong risk factor for melanoma, approximately half of melanomas arising in patients with atypical nevi develop de novo and do not evolve from a precursor atypical nevus.
