- Abstract
Melanocytic nevi are benign tumors of major importance in relation with malignant melanoma. Recently was recognized a group of melanocytic nevi that may simulate dysplastic nevi as well as melanoma (nevi of special sites). Some of these special sites include the flexural locations such axilla, that are characterized by nested pattern with great variability of the size of the junctional nests, as well as origin of the nests at the tips of the rete ridges and from the inter-rete ridges regions. The cytologic atypia and stromal alterations seem to be absent from the flexural nevi. We present the case of an axillary nevus surgically removed from a 27 years old female, measuring 0,6cm in greatest dimension that on first examination was considered to be an atypical melanocytic proliferation but after further analysis the final diagnosis was of compound melanocytic nevus of site related atypias.
