Overview
Melanocytic nevus is a benign growth on the skin (usually tan, brown, or flesh-colored) that contains a cluster of melanocytes and surrounding supportive tissue.
Pathophysiology
Congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN)
- Congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) are hamartomas lesions.
- During embryogenesis clonal proliferations of benign melanocytes may give rise to melanocytic nevi.[1][2]
- BRAF V600E mutations have a very high corelation with small congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN), acquired melanocytic nevi and cutaneous melanomas.[3][4]
- While giant congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) have somatic gain-of-function mutations in NRAS.[5][6]
- Compared to acquired melanocytic nevi, CMN penetrate into deeper layers of dermis.[7]
- Melanocytes in CMN follow pathyway of nerves and vessels and grow along adenxal structures (eg, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, eccrine ducts) and settle between collagen bundles in a single arrangement.[8][9]
