A Spitz nevus (also known as an Epithelioid and spindle-cell nevus Benign juvenile melanoma and Spitz’s juvenile melanoma) is a benign melanocytic nevus a type of skin lesion affecting the epidermis and dermis.Spitz nevus is also known as spindle and epithelioid cell nevus and juvenile melanoma. The latter term is generally no longer used as it is misleading: it is not a melanoma it is a benign lesion; it can also occur in adults not only in children.
