There are two basic kinds of medical test results: 1  Tests that give yes or no answers (usually used for diagnostic purposes) 2  Tests that give relative results, as in measuring something to be higher or lower, bigger or smaller than before, or inside or outside a normal range.
[edit on Wikidata] A melanocytic nevus (also known as nevocytic nevus) is a type of lesion that contains nevus cells (a type of melanocyte). Some sources equate the term mole with melanocytic nevus. Other sources reserve the term mole for other purposes.
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.
