WHAT DOES NAEVI MEAN IN ENGLISH?

naevi

Nevus

Nevus is the medical term for sharply circumscribed and chronic lesions of the skin or mucosa. These lesions are commonly named birthmarks or beauty marks. Nevi are benign by definition. However, 50% of malignant melanomas arise from pre-existing nevi. Using the term nevus and nevi loosely, most physicians and dermatologists are actually referring to a variant of nevus called the "melanocytic nevus", which are composed of melanocytes. Histologically, melanocytic nevi are distinguished from lentigines by the presence of nests of melanocytes, which lentigines lack.
