A Spitz nevus (also known as an "Epithelioid and spindle-cell nevus," "Benign juvenile melanoma":691, and "Spitz's juvenile melanoma") is a benign melanocytic nevus, a type of skin lesion, affecting the epidermis and dermis. Spitz nevus is also known as spindle and epithelioid cell nevus and juvenile melanoma. The latter term is generally no longer used as it is misleading: it is not a melanoma, it is a benign lesion; it can also occur in adults, not only in children. The lesion is named after Dr.Sophie Spitz, the pathologist who originally described it in 1948.
