From the study of standard textbooks of dermatology, no comprehensive understanding of the word nevus can be derived. The purpose of this article is to formulate a workable definition. As a first step, various definitions proposed by previous authors are reviewed. Their inconsistency appears to be mainly due to the fact that the term nevus is used to denote both neoplastic and nonneoplastic, congenital and acquired as well as hereditary and nonhereditary skin lesions. Taking this difficulty into account, the author suggests, as a unifying concept, the new category of genetic mosaicism. The following definition is proposed: ‘Nevi are visible, circumscribed, long-lasting lesions of the skin or the neighboring mucosa, reflecting genetic mosaicism. With the exception of melanocytic nevi, they do not show neoplastic growth. They never show malignant neoplasia.’ -For several types of nevi the concept of genetic mosaicism has already been confirmed at the cellular level. Future cytogenetic and molecular studies should show whether the proposed definition is valid for all other types of nevi and thus generally acceptable.

The fact that so m any different treat m ent m odalities were attem pted in patients with epiderm al nevi suggested to us that no one therapy is uniquely successful.…”

For the past 2 years, we have been treating a teenage girl for a disfiguring, extensive, inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus (ILVEN). In this one patient, we examined the efficacy of numerous treatment modalities and compared our results with those reported in the literature. In our experience, cryotherapy using liquid nitrogen proved to be the most successful therapy, and we have subsequently used it to treat almost all of this patient's lesions. Although cryotherapy does not provide an easy or dramatic cure, we believe it does produce reasonably good cosmetic results.
