• A diagnosis is not made clinically by examining the patient, since the Neurotized Nevus resembles a common mole. The definitive diagnosis is made by a pathologist under the microscope
• When the nevus is examined by a pathologist under the microscope, the melanocytes appear like spindle cells resembling a nerve; and hence, it is called a Neurotized Nevus
• Normally, Neurotized Nevi are present in all individuals including children and adults. The condition is more common in fair-skinned individuals than dark-skinned individuals. Sun exposure is a risk factor for acquiring the condition
• In many cases, the nevus occurs in a random manner, while few cases are known to run in families. However, the cause of formation of a Neurotized Nevus is generally unknown. Research studies have implicated certain genetic mutations as being the probable cause
• Treatment is generally not required for Neurotized Nevus, unless it presents cosmetic issues. The prognosis is usually excellent with appropriate treatment, since these moles are generally benign
