Abstract
The biological significance of dysplastic nevuses remains an object of discussion up to the present time, despite the fact that a dysplastic nevus is a high risk marker of malignant cutaneous melanoma. The role of these nevuses as direct precursors of melanoma is less certain. The authors present the results of research in this sphere, carried out over the recent decades since the fist description of dysplastic nevuses in 1978.
