Nodal nevus, also capsular nevus, is benign lymph node findings that can be mistaken for malignant melanoma.[1]

General

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.
