I would have probably called it nevus with halo like reaction, I am 100% sure this lesion is benign.

Considering the clinical presentation of a pigmented lesion, and the microscopic picture of scattered nests of nevus cells with regressive changes embedded in a dense inflammatory infiltrate, I tend to melanocytic nevus with halo phenomenon, or halo nevus without halo.

In my daily practice I would call this lesion a common nevus with halo phenomenon as well.

I don't see any papillary dermal component, as expected in DPN..., but I comprise there is too halo-regressing changes that confuse the backdrop...

Excellent. We called it a Spitz nevus with halo phenomenon and recommended a re excision.
