There are two basic kinds of medical test results: 1  Tests that give yes or no answers (usually used for diagnostic purposes) 2  Tests that give relative results, as in measuring something to be higher or lower, bigger or smaller than before, or inside or outside a normal range.
[edit on Wikidata] A melanocytic nevus (also known as nevocytic nevus) is a type of lesion that contains nevus cells (a type of melanocyte). Some sources equate the term mole with melanocytic nevus. Other sources reserve the term mole for other purposes.
The clinical and histologic differential diagnosis of dysplastic (atypical, Clark) melanocytic nevi include common nevi, melanoma, Spitz nevi, nevi of special sites, and melanoma in association with a dysplastic nevus. Partial biopsies of large, pigmented lesions may show dysplastic nevuslike features.
