Abstract
Flat, Unna, and Miescher nevi vary widely. We will consider these variants together here, but some of them should be probably considered as entities sui generis. It is advantageous to know not only the major variants of melanocytic nevus but also the unusual ones. One always has to consider the possibility that if a nevus cannot be characterized, it may be a melanoma.
