Recurrent melanocytic nevus
Clinical signs
  • follows incomplete surgical removal (shave) of a former compound melanocytic nevus
Histology

Junctional activity, often in irregular melanocytic nests over a layer of superficial dermal fibrosis (scar). Below the scar there is the remaining (persisting) intradermal part of the nevus. The area of junctional activity corresponds to the intradermal part (no lateral spread).
