In conclusion, the "classical" melanocytic nevus of the legs is a heavily pigmented lentiginous compound nevus, with an acanthotic and hyperkeratotic epidermis, a normal nevoid dermal component, mild-to-moderate inflammation, pigment incontinence, and some architectural "dysplastic-nevus-characteristics"[1] (fibroplasia, unsharp lateral borders). Minimal dermal inflammation and pigment incontinence (Hematoxylin and eosin, ×100) gl In 45% of the selected nevi, we could observe some dysplastic nevus characteristics; specifically, we saw low-grade atypia in 32.7% of cases and moderate atypia in only 2% of cases, while severe atypia was never observed. On the other hand, hyperpigmented nevi presented a strong association with the following characteristics: features of dysplastic nevi, inflammation, hypermelanosis, and hyperkeratosis.
