[The Spitz nevus. Spindle cell and/or epithelioid cell nevus--a clinical analysis of 652 tumors].

We report on clinical aspects of 652 Spitz' nevi. In 42.9% of the cases, this tumor has been observed in people over 19 years. The female sex with 61.6% was much more concerned than the male sex. Most frequently, the lower extremities were affected (30.1%). The clinical diagnosis of Spitz' nevus could be definitely made in only 13.9% of the cases. We are going to discuss the very variable clinical picture of Spitz' nevus.
