The dysplastic nevus is a special type of melanocytic nevi, which is a clinical and morphological marker of increased risk for the development of cutaneous melanoma. Therefore, correct diagnosis and preventive oncological screening of patients in selected risk groups are necessary. Epidemiology and current classification of dysplastic nevi, as well as the problem of clinical and morphological correlation of findings in the differential diagnosis of dysplastic nevi are discussed. Related personal research data are presented.
