A suspected dysplastic nevus (also called dysplastic melanocytic nevus) generally presents as a [[Dark skin focalities|dark skin focality]].

==Microscopic evaluation==
A junctional nevus is characterized by:<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pathologyoutlines.com/topic/skintumormelanocyticJunctnevus.html|title=Skin melanocytic tumor - Nevi - Junctional nevus|author=Christopher S.

*Rounded melanocyte nests on the epidermal side of dermoepidermal junction
*Variable lentiginous melanocytic hyperplasia

*Growth

*Abnormal visual appearance
*Size >10mm


;Mandatory findings:<ref name=KVAST/>
===Report===
*Shoulder phenomenon, meaning that the extent of the dermal component is larger than the epidermal component.
*Presence or absence of atypia.
*Lentiginous proliferation, meaning an increased amount of melanocytes in the basal area, along rete pegs and sometimes between them.

*Irregularly distributed nests of melanocytes.
*{{Comprehensive-begin}}Size
*Atypia
