Definition
A term that refers to a group of cutaneous melanocytic neoplasms that are composed of epithelioid and/or spindle cells and extend from the epidermis into the reticular dermis, often in a wedge-shaped configuration. They are usually associated with oncogenic mutations that activate the MAP-kinase pathway. This category includes Spitz nevus, Spitz melanocytoma, and Spitz 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.
