| Preferred Name | lentigo |
| Definitions |
A flat, benign, pigmented spot on the skin caused by excessive deposition of melanin from an increased number of melanocytes in the cell layer directly above the basement membrane of the epidermis. Formation is usually related to sun exposure during youth, and the lesions do not typically progress to malignancy.
Excluded benign neoplasm as a subclass because NCIT classifies as non-neoplastic.
