What does "no significant cytologic atypia mean"?

JamesKorte
What does "The nevus cells do not show significant cytologic atypia" mean? I know what is cytologic atypia, but does this mean there is no atypia or there is some but mild or moderate? I asked my derm and he said there is no atypia and the term "significant" is just medical lingo. Should I trust him?
