The dermoepidermal junction contains a primary nested melanocytic proliferation.Within the superficial dermis, discrete nests of melanocytes with slightly smaller nuclei are present. Lateral to the dermal portion of the lesion,slightly atypical melanocytes proliferate witch bridge and fuse adjacent rete and are associated with a superficial fibrosis of the papillary dermis.In foci there are melanocytes in suprabasal locations with larger nests.
