Prevalence of nevi, atypical nevi, and lentigines in relation to tobacco smoking.

<h4>Background</h4>Melanocytic nevi have a complex evolution influenced by several endogenous and exogenous factors and are known risk factors for malignant melanoma. Interestingly, tobacco use seems to be inversely associated with melanoma risk. However, the association between tobacco...
