    Area of Science:

    • Dermatopathology
    • Pediatric Dermatology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Melanocytic tumors present a diagnostic challenge.
    • Spitz nevi are a specific type of melanocytic tumor.
    • Accurate differentiation is critical for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To define and characterize Spitz nevi.
    • To emphasize the importance of distinguishing Spitz nevi from melanoma.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 24 cases.
    • Histopathological examination of benign melanocytic tumors.
    • Clinical data review.

    Main Results:

    • Twenty-four cases were identified and defined as Spitz nevi.
    • Tumors occurred in individuals aged 1-31 years.
    • All cases were excised between 1967-1977.

    Conclusions:

    • Spitz nevi represent a distinct entity within melanocytic tumors.
    • Clinical and pathological differentiation from malignant melanoma is essential.
    • This distinction impacts treatment and prognosis.
