Nevi and melanomas Classification and external resources MeSH D018326 Nevi and melanomas are a group of neoplasia.
Although a nevus and a melanoma are often treated as independent entities, there is evidence that a nevus can be a precursor for a melanoma.[1]
Common mutations have been identified in nevi and melanomas.[2][3][4]
