Structural peculiarities of normal skin and surrounding skin from removed melanocytic nevi
Abstract
Environmental factors play an important role in preserving the integrity of the skin. The changes can occur to components and ultrastructure of the skin due to genetic factors, predisposing environmental factors, and favored by the emergence of skin pathology. In this context, the present study refers to the normal structural appearance of the skin and presents comparative, characteristic appearances of melanocytic nevi. Such reviews are important since the pathology of melanocytic nevi is occurring at an increased frequency.
