Nevus cells are a variant of melanocytes.^[1]^:684 They are larger than typical melanocytes, do not have dendrites, and have more abundant cytoplasm with coarse granules.^[2] They are usually located at the dermoepidermal junction or in the dermis of the skin. Dermal nevus cells can be further classified: type A (epithelioid) dermal nevus cells mature into type B (lymphocytoid) dermal nevus cells which mature further into type C (neuroid) dermal nevus cells, through a process involving downwards migration.^[2]

Nevus cells are the primary component of a melanocytic nevus.^[3]

Nevus cells can also be found in lymph nodes^[4] and the thymus.^[5]

: Melanocytic nevus rests in lymph nodes are a known diagnostic challenge, especially in patients with a history of melanoma. Reticulin and NM23 have been studied in this context. The pattern of reticulin staining in melanomas surrounds groups/nests of melanocytes but individual cells in benign nevi

… [Abstract]　A variety of cutaneous lesions may clinically simulate malignant melanoma, including Bowen's disease, which is a squamous cell carcinoma in situ that typically presents as a scaly pink to erythematous patch or plaque. … On rare occasions, the lesion is pigmented and may resemble seborrheic keratosis, actinic keratosis, basal cell carcinoma, atypical nevus, or melanoma, and the correct diagnosis is suggested by dermatoscopy. …
