Phillip McKee - Overseas Consultations (Cave Creek, Arizona, USA) Wrote:

It is a deep penetrating nevus for the same reasons as discussed in the earlier case. It confirms the point that I made about melanocytic lesions being problematical for many people. This is of major importance since in the US, they are the greatest source of litigation. It might be a good reason to have a look at the melanocytic atlas that I wrote with Eduardo Calonje as it is filled with multiple examples of these sort of lesions.

Plexiform spindle cell nevus (deep penetrating nevus). I cannot see any convincing mitoses. Lesion is symmetrical with wedge shape and some features resembling Reed's nevus.

Intradermal Spitzoid lesion; the deep pigmentation, absence of maturation & (if I'm correct) deep mitoses make me say, at least, an atypical Spitz naevus.
