Atypical (dysplastic) nevus with eccentric hyperpigmentation

Atypical nevus with eccentric hyperpigmentation is an atypical nevus of the utmost importance because its differential diagnoses are melanoma in situ and early invasive melanoma. In our case, the hyperpigmentation corresponded to a darker reticular network. In certain cases, the eccentric hyperpigmentation is a blotch.
This lesion was removed and the diagnosis of benign atypical nevus confirmed by the pathologist.
