===Microscopic===
Features:<ref name=Ref_WMSP498>{{Ref WMSP|498}}</ref>
*Melanocytes in epidermis only.
**Melanocytes basally located (normal location) with hyperpigmentation.
*No melanocytic nests.
*+/-Mild/moderate elongation of the rete ridges.<ref name=pmid19536147/>
 
DDx:<ref name=humpath_ls/>
*[[Solar lentigo]] - solar elastosis, usu. in sun exposed areas.
*[[Ephelis]] (freckle) - change with UV light exposure.
*Melanotic macule.
*[[Lentiginous nevus]] - has melanocytic nests.

SKIN LESION, LEFT ABDOMEN, BIOPSY:
- BENIGN SIMPLE LENTIGO.

====Micro====
The sections show skin with increased numbers of small pigmented melanocytes at the dermal-epidermal junction. The rete ridges are mildly elongated. No solar damage is apparent. No dermal melanocytes are identified. No melanocytic nests are identified. No nuclear atypia is apparent.
