Spitz Nevus

Definition

Spitz nevus is a benign skin lesion. It typically appears as a small, raised, and dome-shaped growth on the skin, often with a reddish or pinkish hue. Spitz nevi are commonly found in children and young adults and are usually harmless, but they can sometimes be mistaken for malignant melanomas due to their similar appearance.
