AB Acquired  melanocytic  nevocellular  nevi  are  small  (<1  cm),  benign,  well-circumscribed,  pigmented  lesions  comprised  of  groups  of  melanocytes  or  melanocytic  nevus  cells.They  can  be  classified  into  three  groups:Junctional  nevi  (cells  grouped  at  the  dermal–epidermal  junction,  above  the  basement  membrane).Dermal  nevi  (cells  grouped  in  the  dermis).Compound  nevi  (combination  of  histologic  features  of  junctional  and  dermal).Clinical  overlap  exists  among  all  three  types.
