  • Title: [The Spitz nevus. Spindle cell and/or epithelioid cell nevus--a histological analysis of 652 tumors].
    Author: Gartmann H, Ganser M.
    Journal: Z Hautkr; 1985 Jan; 60(1-2):29-30, 34-6, 39-42. PubMed ID: 3984434.
    Abstract:
    652 Spitz' nevi have been histologically analysed and separated into epidermal and dermal changes. There are similarities between Spitz' nevus and melanocytic nevus. 44.9% of the examined Spitz' nevi consist of spindle cells only, 34% of spindle as well as epithelioid cells, and 21% of epithelioid cells only. We are going to discuss the difficulties in histological examination; more or less important signs are differentiated in detail. In some cases, Spitz' nevus will remain a somewhat dubious and disturbing tumor.
