'''Pigmented spindle cell nevus''', also '''pigmented spindle cell nevus of Reed''' and '''Reed nevus''',<ref name=pmid21997694/> is an uncommon benign [[melanocytic lesion]]. | |||
==General== | |||
*Benign. | |||
*Uncommon. | |||
*Women (M:F = 1:1.4<ref name=pmid8463457/>). | |||
*Usually 20s or teens. | |||
Note: | |||
*It was previously considered a variant of [[Spitz nevus]].<ref name=pmid21605093>{{cite journal |author=Webber SA, Siller G, Soyer HP |title=Pigmented spindle cell naevus of Reed: a controversial diagnostic entity in Australia |journal=Australas.

*Dark brown/black. | |||
*Typically 3-6 mm. | |||
**Mostly under 7 mm.<ref name=pmid21997694/> | |||
Location: | |||
*Usually extremities (75% in one series<ref name=pmid8463457/>) - typically lower extremities. | |||
*Back. | |||
*Shoulder region. | |||
==Microscopic== | |||
Features:<ref name=Ref_WMSP500>{{Ref WMSP|500}}</ref> | |||
*Nests of heavily pigmented spindle cells at dermal-epidermal junction - '''key feature'''. | |||
**Nevoid cells in epidermis & dermis - form "basket weave" pattern. | |||
*Well-circumscribed lesion. | |||
Notes: | |||
*No epithelioid nevus cells. | |||

SKIN LESION, RIGHT POSTERIOR NECK, EXCISION: | |||
- PIGMENTED SPINDLE CELL NEVUS OF REED. | |||
-- COMPLETELY EXCISED (CLEARANCE ~ 1 MM). | |||
</pre> | |||
===Micro=== | |||
The sections show spindled pigmented melanocytes in nests confined to the epidermis. | |||
The lesion is symmetrical in its architecture and pigment distribution. There is no | |||
pagetoid spread of melanocytes in the epidermis. No significant nuclear atypia is | |||
identified. No mitotic activity is appreciated. Melanophages are present in the superficial | |||
dermis. The lesion is completely excised in the plane of section. | |||
