Article should be re-named "Atypical mole", the term correctly recommended by the NIH in preference to the far-less-understood "dysplastic nevus."

[edit]

A dysplastic nevus or atypical mole is a mole whose appearance is different from that of common moles. In 1992, the NIH recommended that the term "dysplastic nevus" be avoided in favor of the term "atypical mole."[1] An atypical mole may also be referred to as an is an atypical melanocytic nevus, [2] Atypical nevus, B-K mole, Clark's nevus, Dysplastic melanocytic nevus, or Nevus with architectural disorder.[3]
