Keratotic melanocytic nevus.
Thirty-five percent of 363 melanocytic nevi were found to have a keratotic epithelial architectural pattern that was mostly infundibular and not previously emphasized. Keratotic melanocytic nevi were commonly from the trunk of women, and most were associated with an intradermal melanocytic nevus. The clinical and histopathologic features as well as a review of the literature of these keratotic melanocytic nevi are presented.
