At one time in the 1950s and 60s, (and, to a lesser extent, currently) a mole was known as a “[[beauty mark]]” when it appeared in certain spots on a woman’s face. Examples include Marilyn Monroe, model Cindy Crawford, and singer Madonna. Madonna's facial mole -- below her right nostril -- has been surgically removed.
Dysplastic nevus was first discovered by Clark and his colleagues in 1978.

Overview

Dysplastic nevus was first discovered by Clark and his colleagues in 1978.

Historical Perspective

  • Dysplastic nevus was first discovered by Clark and his colleagues in 1978.[1]
  • The name ‘dysplastic nevus’ was proposed since they are benign melanocytic nevi that include cytologic atypia, similar to dysplastic lesions of other organs, such as the cervix.[2]
  • At one time in the 1950s and 60s, (and, to lesser extent, currently) a mole was known as a “beauty mark” when it appeared in certain spots on a woman’s face. Examples include Marilyn Monroe, model Cindy Crawford and singer Madonna. Madonna's facial mole -- below her right nostril -- has been surgically removed.
