Great article in the June 2011 issue of the ‘Journal of Cutaneous Pathology’ regarding persistent melanocytic naevi.
Good reading for those interested in the subject.
Things of note are
- female predominance (reason unclear)
- back is the most common site followed by abdomen then chest
- mean time between original biopsy then biopsy of persistent naevus was 9.7 months
- dysplastic naevi were most likely to recur
- persistent melanocytic naevi were more likely to be initially removed via shave biopsy
