Definition
A subtype of cutaneous Spitz nevus characterized by the presence of heavily pigmented spindle-shaped melanocytes that proliferate in the epidermis or in the epidermis and superficial dermis. It presents as a small and slightly elevated brown or black skin lesion with usually well-demarcated borders. Sometimes the clinical and morphologic features may be difficult to distinguish from melanoma.

Key figures
Each figure carries its unit, period and source; ranks link to "Why this rank?".
No registry-level ancestor: burden figures are published for the mutually exclusive top-level site groups only, and this entity does not descend from one. Global figures (IARC / GLOBOCAN) stay under license review and SEER awaits credentials.
