A nevus is a benign ( noncancerous) melanocytic tumor, more commonly called a mole. Nevi (the plural of nevus) are not usually present at birth but begin to appear in children and teenagers. Most moles will never cause any problems, but a person who has 50 or more moles is more likely to develop melanoma, the most aggressive form of skin cancer.
This is the pigmented nevus or mole, sometimes called a nevocellular nevus or melanocytic nevus. The term nevus is often used synonymously for a mole but it actually means any congenital lesion of the skin. Clinically, most nevi are small, usually less than 6 mm. They are usually flat or slightly raised and have even pigmentation or flesh coloration with sharply circumscribed borders.
