What is junctionalmelanocyticnevus with mild cytologic atypia

Dysplastic nevus: Dysplastic moles have 2 tones of color, irregular borders and are usually flat.People who have them are at increased risk of developing melanoma. Those who have 10 or more dysplastic moles are 12 times as likely to develop melanoma as the general population. Under the microscope they are graded mild, moderate or severe cytologic atypia. They also have architectural atypia.

Atypical Nevus: An atypical melanocytic nevus (mole) is graded with mild, focally severe or severe atypia. Another feature of possibly dysplatic (pre-malignant) moles is the finding of architectural disorder. Junctional means nevus cells were seen at the base of the epidermis/superficial dermis (a common mole type). Mild atypia moles should be monitored for regrowth and re-excision with margins, if indicated.
