Dermoscopy of a Spark’s Nevus

Spark’s nevus is a particular type of melanocytic nevus that on histology shows features of both Spitz’s and Clark's nevus. Clinically, it is an asymmetric, irregular, multicolored, pigmented lesion that is not clearly distinguishable from melanoma or dysplastic (Clark’s) nevus. Dermoscopic fe...
