Nodal nevus, also capsular nevus, is benign lymph node findings that can be mistaken for malignant melanoma.[1]
'Nevus in lymph node and benign nevus cells in lymph node redirect here.
General
- Lymph node metastases from cutaneous melanoma are common and seen in approximately 20% of cases.[2]
- May be confused with malignant melanoma.[3]
Gross
- Usually not apparent.
Microscopic
Features:
- Nevus cells with bland cytomorphology.
- Lack size variation, nucleoli.
- Non-proliferative.
Note:
- No standardized criteria.[3]
DDx:
IHC
Features:[3]
- S-100 +ve.
